Thai Students Detained

Dozens of Thai students were detained by soldiers today after they attempted to stage a protest at a public park at the centre of a corruption scandal that has shaken the kingdom's military junta.

14 Thai students detained for an anti-coup protest were released from jail today but still face sedition charges, a lawyer said, in a case that has heightened concerns over civil liberties in the junta-ruled kingdom.

A group of Thai students who were detained in Pakistan after one of them was caught carrying a gun through Lahore airport returned home today after officials secured their release.

Three Thai university students were taken into police custody today for handing out free tickets to the latest film in the Hunger Games series, from which Thai protesters have borrowed a gesture of resistance to a totalitarian government.
