Hundreds of demonstrators rallied in Thailand on Saturday, after police arrested two leading anti-government protaest leaders in an apparent attempt to stifle growing political unrest.
Around 800 demonstrators packed a concourse near a shopping mall in central Bangkok to hear speeches denouncing the arrests and call for Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha to resign.
Tensions rose briefly as police officers moved in, telling the crowd they were only observing. They withdrew to a chorus of boos and chants for them to get out.
After a period of relative calm in Thailand's fractious politics, the temperature is rising again with a wave of anti-government protests. Many have been held on school and university campuses in Bangkok and other cities.
They reflect a growing anger among many young people with the Prayuth administration.
