“Most notably, over the past month, the Criminal Court has begun issuing formal orders in individual case dockets—particularly in Section 112 cases and those involving political expression that have drawn public attention—prohibiting anyone from reporting or disseminating details of courtroom proceedings or any events within the Criminal Court without prior authorization. These publication bans have been issued in at least four cases, with the wording of the orders being identical in every instance, despite being issued by different judicial panels. This pattern suggests that the orders may not reflect the individual discretion of each judge, but rather stem from a broader administrative directive. Such a practice raises concerns about potential conflicts with the principle of judicial independence, as well as the right to a fair trial—one that is conducted openly, transparently, and subject to public scrutiny.”

“On 14 May 2024, Bung died at Thammasat University Hospital from sudden cardiac arrest, after being transferred from the Central Women’s Correctional Institution of the Department of Corrections. The total duration of Bung’s temporary detention, from the start of her hunger strike protest to the day of her death, was 109 days. However, the cause of her death remains a mystery, whether she really died from sudden cardiac arrest or due to a lack of timely medical treatment, since Thammasat University Hospital told her lawyer that the hospital found that the medical treatment from the Department of Corrections was done incorrectly.”

Politics on Social Media

People often talk about politics and defend or attack political beliefs—especially on social media—because politics is deeply tied to identity, values, and a sense of belonging. Here are a few reasons why it happens so often and so emotionally:

  1. Identity and Belonging: Political beliefs often align with core values and worldviews. When someone challenges those beliefs, it can feel like a personal attack, not just a disagreement.
  2. Tribalism: Humans naturally form groups. Politics can create an “us vs. them” mentality, where defending your side becomes a way of showing loyalty.
  3. Echo Chambers: Social media algorithms tend to show users content they already agree with. This reinforces existing beliefs and makes opposing views seem more extreme or threatening.
  4. Validation and Status: Expressing political views online can be a way to gain approval or respect from like-minded peers. It can also feel empowering to speak out, especially on controversial topics.
  5. Misinformation and Emotional Content: Political content that triggers strong emotions—anger, fear, outrage—gets more attention and shares. This fuels more reactionary and defensive behavior.
  6. Perceived Stakes: People often feel that political outcomes directly affect their rights, safety, or future. That sense of urgency makes discussions more intense.
