ai generated text

Netiporn Sanae-sangkhom, a 28-year-old Thai activist, died in hospital after being transferred from prison. She was detained since January 26 and had been on a hunger strike for several months, refusing food and water until the end of April. Netiporn was a member of the Thaluwang activist group and had advocated for reform of Thailand's monarchy system, which led to her being charged with lèse-majesté and other offenses. Activists held vigils in Bangkok to honor her memory.
