At least 10 homeless people in Chiang Mai have been arrested for breaking curfew by being outside after 22.00, says Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR).

The nationwide curfew, announced on 3 April in an attempt to control the spread of Covid-19, prohibits the public from leaving their residences between 22.00 – 4.00. Violators may be punished by up to 2 years in prison, or a fine of up to 40,000 baht, or both.
