She has not posted the remark just some user that made a comment but since Thai law required her to moderate her website she is responsible.
The former speaker for UDD “the torpedo” is still denied bail and she lost 15 kilos in prison. She is denied bail over and over even if first degree murders and people with more intent to flee has been granted bail.
