The prosecution responsible for handling the cases of the Democracy Hub protesters has denied allegations of mistreatment while in custody, asserting that the detainees are receiving proper care.
Currently, 53 protesters are remanded, with nine individuals in prison and the rest in police custody.
The situation has become contentious, as defence lawyers have claimed that their clients are being subjected to maltreatment, including a lack of food and medical care.
Justice Srem Sai, representing Oliver Barker-Vormawor, argued that his client and others in custody were experiencing distress due to inadequate medical attention, especially during emergencies.
He alleged that Mr Barker-Vormawor only received medical assistance after collapsing in detention.
