Two young Thai protesters facing royal defamation charges announced Saturday they were ending their marathon hunger strike following doctors' fears they could suffer organ failure.
Tantawan "Tawan" Tuatulanon, 21, and Orawan "Bam" Phupong, 23, began their hunger strike on January 18 to urge political parties to support the abolition of the kingdom's royal insult laws -- among the harshest in the world.
"Tawan and Bam would like to inform the public that we have stopped the hunger strike to save our lives to continue fighting," Tawan said in a Facebook post on Saturday. Thai Lawyers for Human Rights says more than 200 people have been charged under lese majeste, including at least 17 minors, since pro-democracy protests in 2020.
