As reported previously, (see here, here and here), the military junta is consolidating its hold in Thailand suppressing all criticism of the coup (click for video). In the latest developments, a newly formed organisation called the ‘New Democracy Movement’ staged a series of protests in May to oppose the military regime. The military later arrested 14 students as ‘ringleaders’. These students are now facing up to 7 years in jail charged with sedition. A television programme that looked at their arrests is also facing pressure from the military. The students have put out a call for further resistance and the need to organise.
