Thailand reports daily record of more than 20,000 COVID-19 cases

Thailand has reported 20,200 new coronavirus cases and 188 additional deaths – both records since the start of the pandemic last year – increasing the likelihood that virus-related restrictions will be extended. The new cases and fatalities reported on Wednesday brought total cases to 672,385 and deaths to 5,503, data from the health ministry’s website showed. The country recorded its previous high of daily COVID-19 cases at 18,912 and record-high daily fatalities at 178 just last Saturday. A day later, the government tightened containment measures in the capital of Bangkok and several high-risk provinces, with the rules likely to remain in place until the end of August in a bid to slow an outbreak fuelled by the highly transmissible Delta and Alpha variants.

A year after taboo on Thai king broken, 103 face jail for

By Panu Wongcha-um and Panarat Thepgumpanat BANGKOK, Aug 3 (Reuters) - In the year since making an unprecedented, taboo-breaking speech openly calling for discussion on the role of Thailand s powerful king, human rights lawyer Arnon Nampa has spent months in jail, charged with the crime of defaming the monarchy. He is one of 103 people from Thailand s youth-led anti-government protests now charged with insulting or threatening King Maha Vajiralongkorn or his immediate family, a crime punishable by up to 15 years imprisonment. Hundreds more face other criminal charges. Arnon, 36, says he has no regrets and vows the prosecutions will not crush the anti-government movement, which in recent weeks has been building again.
