The Criminal Court has granted bail to Patiwat Saraiyaem, one of several key protesters held in prison on charges -- including lese majeste -- linked to last year's mass protests.
Patiwat, better known by his northeastern folk-singing alias of Morlum Bank had sought to be placed on a 200,000-baht bond along with two other detainees, Somyot Pruksakasemsuk and Jatupat "Pai" Boontararaksa, on condition they break no further rules regarding public discussion of the monarchy.
Speaking before the court at a March 29 hearing, Mr Patiwat pledged not to breach Section 112 in the Criminal Code and also stay away from political rallies. He added that if given bail, he would go back to singing mor lum folk songs for a living and was willing to meet all bail conditions set by the court including wearing an electronic tag.
