Thai cops arrest 4 anti-govt protesters
Thai police yesterday said they have arrested four anti-government activists over a July 18 protest that triggered a wave of student-led demonstrations demanding a new constitution and elections.
Three of the activists were arrested late on Wednesday and a rapper who performed at the protest was detained early yesterday, as police step a crackdown on a countrywide movement behind the biggest rallies seen in Thailand since a 2014 military coup.
Their arrests come after police detained human rights lawyer Anon Nampa on Wednesday for a speech he made at another protest calling for the reform of the powerful monarchy. It was the second time he has been arrested this month.
