Going to prison this time is full of honor because it is part of the struggle for rights, freedom and democracy.
I was taken out [of prison] and brought to the Southern Bangkok Criminal Court for the second Harry Potter case trial. Today, for the first time in many days, I held Issaranon and hugged Pran. The two children were bright and cheerful. Pran, the older sister, is 8. She has lost a few more teeth. Bumps are starting to appear on Issaranon’s gums, probably teeth that are pushing through.

In addition to my family’s presence at the court, friends also sat with me and offered encouragement during the trial. One older sister -- whom I didn’t know personally -- travelled from Lamphun to provide support after seeing the news on Facebook.

Actually, a lot of people agree with and support this struggle of young people. We are spread out all over the country and all over the world. The 2020 youth uprising changed the country tremendously. We inspired people to work and changed how they think. This is clear from the latest election results – 70% do not want the old society.

Being imprisoned this time is an honor, and it is my great honor to have a small part in the struggle.

It’s late. Tomorrow I have to go to court. Pass my encouragement on to everyone.
