On the 30th April of this year Somyot Pruksakasemsuk was arrested for the second time in 12 months. He has just completed one month in Bangkok Remand Prison for his political and journalistic activities. Somyot is now working as the librarian of Bangkok prison. He is amongst 100s of politically active people in Thailand who have been detained under Article 112, the lese-majeste law, in the run up to the Thai elections in July.
Somyot has asked comrades to send him by post or email some publication or creative product. This could be a book or piece of written work, some art or photography or anything that you think would offer some distraction for the people of Bangkok remand prison. By sending something you will be raising the profile of Somyot’s case, and those of the activists who have also been arrested. More info here and here. His email address is:
