On 1 Mar, the Appeals Court denied bail to Daranee Charnchoengsilpakul, citing the same reasons as Court of First Instance, which had dismissed the bail request on 23 Feb, that the alleged offences carry severe penalties and affect the revered monarchy, and that she might flee.
In response to the defendant’s appeal to receive treatment for her molar problems in a hospital outside the prison, the Appeals Court said that she could seek the treatment by following the regulations of the Corrections Department.
