Thai police seize 7 anti-coup protesters
Print Edition
THAI police arrested seven anti-coup protesters after a flashmob rally held yesterday outside a Bangkok shopping center in defiance of thousands of security forces deployed city-wide to enforce a ban on political gatherings.
Small and creative protests have been held since the military seized power from the civilian government on May 22.
The majority have taken place in the Thai capital where demonstrators have adopted a three-finger salute from the “Hunger Games” films as an unofficial symbol of resistance against the military regime.
More than 6,500 police and soldiers were deployed at several sites across the city.
Around 20 protesters briefly gathered outside a downtown shopping center — in full view of police. Some made the three-finger salute while others held their hands over their mouths to signify muffling of dissent.
