Detained red-shirt Somyot Prueksakasemsuk is hoping for release from prison after his 84-day maximum detention for investigation on a lese majeste charge expires this Sunday.

A woman rallies outside the Bangkok Remand Prison on July 22, 2011, calling on authorities to release detained red-shirt core member Somyot Prueksakasemsuk.

About 20 people rallied and chanted "Free Somyot, Free other Thai Political Prisoners" in front of the Bangkok Remand Prison on Friday morning.

Discussion4; i respectfully and totally disagree with you...if Somyot wants to preach,print and air revolution and disrespect for the Thai institutions , he should either flee to his friend Arisman in Cambodia or go and live in North Korea. If not, he belongs in a Thai prison.

Blue #1: Is it against the law in Thailand to believe in Anarchism (the definition[s] of which I intuit you are unaware) and to have contempt, indeed if Somyot even has contempt, for all institutions?

If contempt is a crime should you, sir, be charged for the obvious contempt you exhibit for Somyot?

The sad thing is if you were arrested and charged I, although disagreeing with you would be one of those working for your release. I happen to support freedom of thought, emotions and freedom of speech.

Good to see more and more people coming out and showing they do not agree with the abuse of article 112.

Somyot is a political anarchist with contempt for any institution in Thailand. Just start the court case against him and keep him where he belongs....in jail!
