BANGKOK, 7 July 2015 – Bangkok’s military court has agreed to free all 14 student activists, who have been detained since their arrest on June 26.
The students were court-martialed and will remain in detainment at Bangkok Remand Prison until the court specifies the time of their release on Tuesday.
The university students were arrested on the charges of sedition and violating the government’s ban on political gatherings for holding a rally in Bangkok.
International organizations including the UN and EU, as well as local activist groups, had previously called the government to release the students and drop the charges filed against them for holding a peaceful rally.
