Prawase feels that Daranee has been forsaken by her fellow red shirts. Lawyers for the red shirts dare not take the case. At first, some people visited her, but there are none today.

That's a pretty sorry statement on the state of the opposition in Thailand. Daranee couldn't just up and leave the country like Giles. She's served nearly a year already, before her trial begins! and no one is standing up for her.

With half-hearted representation like this she's sure to go down for the count.
