On the night of Aug 22, political activist Ekachai Hongkangwan experienced another violent attack that broke his left hand.
A group of four to five attackers cornered him and brutally hit the defenceless man in broad daylight. One attacker who was on a motorcycle even attempted to run over him.

The activist, a member of a group that branded itself as "People who want an early election," is all too familiar with trouble caused by his anti-coup role including a series of attitude adjustment sessions ordered by the military regime and a jail term.
