Hunger Games Salute

The UN criticized Thailand's Junta for detaining people caught throwing a three-fingered protest salute inspired by "The Hunger Games" movies, as the Prime Minister warned that using the defiant gesture could "jeopardize their future".

An activist who spearheaded silent protests against Thailand's military coup, including a campaign featuring a three-fingered salute inspired by "The Hunger Games," had been freed on bail after a month-long detention, police said on Wednesday.

Thailand's military rulers said Tuesday they are monitoring a new form of silent resistance to the coup - a three-fingered salute borrowed from "The Hunger Games" - and will arrest those in large groups who ignore warnings to lower their arms.

Opponents of Thailand's military coup are risking arrest by flashing the three-finger salute from the "Hunger Games" movies to defy a junta that has banned all public protests.

Approaching his 40th birthday, Sachin Tendulkar's "insatiable hunger and incredible talent" has fetched him glowing tributes from fellow cricketers who say the batting great's longevity and passion for the game can never be surpassed.
