Overview
- A four‑minute, professionally edited clip of Thai girls chanting appeared on Sancho’s official Instagram and quickly went viral without caption or attribution.
- El programa de Ana Rosa, cited by El Comercio, reported a confidant uploaded the video at Sancho’s written request and showed a purported letter, a claim not independently verified.
- Sancho’s family and legal team told El Periódico they learned of the post after the fact and floated possibilities ranging from a trusted intermediary to a hack, with no confirmation.
- The chant has been identified in reports as Adoration of the Three Jewels, and its publication coincided with the death of Sirikit Kitiyakorn, prompting media speculation about a mourning gesture.
- Thai prisons forbid prisoners from using social media, the video remains online, and Sancho continues serving a life sentence in Surat Thani as his lawyer describes a routine prison life.
