Watana summoned by military for comments on student arrests
The 14 arrested students of the New Democracy Movement must be tried in the military court as required by the law, Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said on Tuesday.
Mr Wissanu was responding to a call by the students for trial in a civilian court, not a military court.
The 14 students were arrested last Thursday for violating a National Council for Peace and Order order prohibiting a political gathering of five people or more. The law requires they be tried in the military court, he said.
