Human rights groups have called for the immediate release of all 14 student activists arrested for staging peaceful demonstrations against military rule.
The students, who belong to the New Democracy Movement, were arrested on Friday on charges of sedition and violating the military regime’s ban on political gatherings after staging several recent rallies calling for an end to military rule.
.They are now being held at the Bangkok Remand Prison and the Central Women's Correctional Institution as they await trial in a military court.
Thailand’s junta should immediately stop arresting and prosecuting student activists," said Brad Adams,
