Arnon, a Thai democracy attorney, infected with Covid in prison

Arnon, who has been in jail for insulting the monarchy since February, is said to have contracted the virus of protester Chukiata Sangwong, who was also arrested on April 23 and tested positive. Several protesters were sentenced to weeks in jail for insults and sedition, and bail requests were repeatedly refused. After weeks of hunger strikes and protests, the 22-year-old Parit from Arnon was sent to Ramatibodi Hospital for treatment at the same prison hospital where they were exhausted.
