Red Shirt Movement

Thai police said today they have arrested a man who allegedly posted messages and photos on Facebook that insulted the king, adding to the skyrocketing number of lese majeste cases in the Southeast Asian country.

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.

The leader of Thailand's pro-government "Red Shirt" movement called on Thursday for a national referendum to resolve a political deadlock that prompted the army chief to declare martial law.

A leader of a pro-government movement backing Thailand's beleaguered prime minister has vowed to fight back if the country's judicial institutions and oversight agencies tried to remove the government undemocratically.
