Bangkok, May 25 – Thai anti-coup protesters hold placards during a protest against coup today at Victory Monument in Bangkok, Thailand.
Hundreds of Thai protesters took to the streets of Bangkok on 25 May to demonstrate against last week’s coup, in open defiance of martial law imposed in the capital.
The soldiers arrested at least two protesters as hundreds gathered in central Bangkok to demonstrate against the military coup.
Thailand’s junta on 25 May 2014 warned people not to join protests against last week’s coup, amid signs of sporadic resistance to military rule.
Martial law prohibits all political gatherings of more than five people.
Thailand’s army chief General Prayuth Chan-ocha seized power with a coup d’etat on 22 May 2014 and placed the country under martial law, detaining at least 150 politicians, activists and scholars over the past three days.
