<p>A family member of detained activist Thatchapong or Chatchai Kaedam, who recently tested positive for Covid-19, said that his condition has not improved, and his family and lawyer were not able to speak to his doctor or obtain information on his condition.</p>

<p>At least 260 protesters have been arrested during pro-democracy protests in August 2021, 70 of whom are minors, say <a href="https://tlhr2014.com/archives/34093">Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR).</a></p>

<p>On 29 August, protesters at-the-wheel struck again in at least 5 provinces to demand Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha&rsquo;s resignation.</p>

<p>Thailand should respect, protect and fulfil the right of its people to peaceful assembly and expression, and must immediately end the use of disproportionate and unnecessary force against protesters, said the Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (FORUM-ASIA) and Human Rights Lawyers Alliance (HRLA).</p>

<p>Thai Lawyers for Human Rights has reported that the Court of Appeal has allowed bail requests on behalf of Sirichai Natueng, Panadda Sirimasakul and Sam Samat, while rejecting those for 5 others detained for similar offences, citing a previous court ruling that they are likely to repeat violations of the law.</p>

<p><a href="http://tlhr2014.com/archives/33655">Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR)</a> reports that the Courts have denied bail requests from 10 individuals held for participating in recent protests.&nbsp; The courts contend that all ten are likely to violate the law and cause further disorder, if released.</p>

<p>The activist group Thalufah has staged daily demonstrations from 16 &ndash; 22 August to protest against the government&rsquo;s mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic and demand the resignation of Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In an exact date from 2020 when they announced the groundbreaking declaration over monarchy reform, UFTD announced its second declaration underlining immediate need for good vaccines and reformation of&nbsp;politics&nbsp;and the monarchy in 2021.</p>

<p>The increasing wave of pro-democracy protests has been met with increasing use of force by the police in order to block marches and prevent demands being expressed in public. The police crowd control guidelines are being questioned as clashes attract public attention.</p>

<p>The activist group Thalufah have held a protest against the government&rsquo;s mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic and calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha for the third consecutive day, despite previous protests being forcibly dispersed by crowd control police.</p>

<p>The activist group Thalufah returned in a third protest march to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, which ended again with police violence.&nbsp;</p>
