The Department of Corrections has issued an official statement regarding the health status of Mr. Promsorn, also known as Fahlikhit Veerathamjaree. The detainee, facing charges under Article 112 at the Thanyaburi District Prison during ongoing legal proceedings, initiated a hunger and water strike on August 31, 2026, to demand bail rights.
According to the latest reports received by the department as of September 2, 2026, physicians from Thanyaburi Hospital conducted a thorough medical examination and assessment, confirming that his general vital signs remain within normal limits despite exhibiting mild fatigue caused by low blood sugar levels.
Thanyaburi District Prison manages inmate care under strict international Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The medical team administered intravenous fluids (saline) and instructed prison nurses alongside health volunteers to maintain continuous surveillance.
"The detainee's general vital signs remain within normal limits, accompanied by mild fatigue."

Furthermore, psychological support has been implemented, with a psychologist conducting detailed mental evaluations. Prison authorities confirmed readiness to transfer him to an outside hospital immediately should any medical indications or symptom changes arise.
A hunger and water strike in detention facilities requires urgent medical intervention because dehydration and lack of nutrition can rapidly impact vital organs. Coordinating with external hospitals and providing psychological assessments reflects standard protocols for ensuring detainee safety during pre-trial detention.
