Thailand issues arrest warrants for monarchy reform activists
Thai authorities have issued arrest warrants for six activists who took part in a demonstration at which students called for reform of the country’s powerful monarchy, police have confirmed. At a rally attended by thousands last week, students risked lengthy jail sentences by reading a 10-point manifesto for reforming the monarchy, including a proposal to scrap strict laws that ban criticism of the king. Such comments were, until recently, highly unusual, and shocked many in the country.
