The health conditions of political hunger strikers “Tawan” Tuatulanon, 21, and Orawan “Bam” Phuphong, 23, quickly deteriorated on Friday, March 3, 2023, after protesting for more than 40 days.

Both of them had body pain and low fluid intake, blood test results are not normal. Kidney function began to have problems. Afraid of kidney failure, Kritsadang Nutcharas, an attorney, asked two political hunger strikers to go back to the hospital.
