Story highlights The court has not allowed bail based on it being a case with high penalties, and the defendants may repeat the actions, a lawyer said
A Thailand court has denied bail to four popular democracy activists who had been charged with violation of the kingdom s royal defamation law.
Four activists were charged for defaming the royal family of Thailand and the government of Premier Prayut Chan-O-Cha during a series of protests that took place in the country last year.
Thousands had flocked to the streets to raise voices against the government and the monarch family alleging them of mistreatment and corruption. However, these protests were not welcomed by the authorities.
