The Ratchadapisek Criminal Court in Bangkok agreed to the request of five anti-establishment protesters yesterday (Wednesday), to have electronic monitoring (EM) tags removed.

The protesters, who are currently out on bail pending trials on lèse majesté and sedition charges, sought the court’s permission to remove the tags after the court ordered one removed from actress Savika Chaiyadech, aka “Pinky”, who is currently on trial on public fraud charges in connection with the Forex 3-D Ponzi scheme.

The five protesters are Chonthicha Jaengrew, Panupong Jadnok, Jatupat Boonpattararaksa, Weha Saenchonchanasuek and Nawapon Ton-ngam.
