Anti-coup Protest In Bangkok

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.

The European Union has hit out at Thailand's junta for pursuing sedition charges against a group of anti-coup student activists, describing their arrest and prosecution in a military court as a 'disturbing development'.

A Thai student was today charged over a peaceful anti-coup protest in Bangkok last month, her lawyer said, as dozens of activists gathered in support of other demonstrators summoned by police.

A Thai court on Thursday passed a suspended prison sentence on an anti-coup activist for breaching a ban on political gatherings, his lawyer said, in the first protest-related verdict since the military takeover.
