The young pro-democracy activists Tantawan "Tawan" Tuatulanon and Orawan "Bam" Phuphong appear determined to put themselves on a path of self-destruction for their cause.
Tantawan, 21, and Orawan, 23, have been on a hunger strike since Jan 19 since they voluntarily revoked their own bail and two weeks ago were sent back to the Central Women's Correctional Institute where they carried on with their hunger strike. They were later sent to Thammasat University Hospital for treatment.
