Global News published this video item, entitled “Thai protests: Free on bail, prominent Thai protest leader pledges to keep up campaign” – below is their description.
One of the most prominent leaders of more than three months of anti-government protests in Thailand was freed on bail on Friday and pledged to keep up the campaign to remove Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha. Jatupat “Pai” Boonpattararaksa was arrested on Oct. 13, when a few hundred protesters scuffled with police a day before a major demonstration that also called for reforms to the monarchy of King Maha Vajiralongkorn. “We will continue to drive out Prayuth in any way we can,” Jatupat said after his release on bail. He faces multiple charges related to the protests. Dozens of protesters have been arrested and several of the best-known leaders remain in detention. Protesters have given Prayuth until Sunday to quit or face further action. They say Prayuth, a former military leader, engineered last year’s election to hold onto power he first took in a 2014 coup. He says the election was fair.
