Netiporn "Bung" Sanesangkhom
Netiporn "Bung" Sanesangkhom was a Thai woman human rights defender and a member of the monarchy reform group Thalu Wang, which campaigns for the amendment Article 112 of Thailand’s royal defamation ‘lèse-majesté’ law, that has continuously been used to punish anyone perceived to defame, insult, or threaten the Thai monarchy.
The Thai woman human rights defender was actively engaged in pro-democracy demonstrations that took place in Thailand during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. She spent two months in prison on Article 112 charges before being released on bail in August 2022. Netiporn "Bung" Sanesangkhom was detained once again on 26 January 2024, and began a hunger strike that lasted for 110 days, ultimately leading to her suffering cardiac arrest in pre-trial detention on 14 May 2024.
