BANGKOK  – Thai police arrested a student leader on Tuesday (Sept 1) as part of a continued crackdown against political activists who helped organise an anti-government protest in July, a police officer told Reuters.

Jutatip Sirikhan, 21, the president of the Student Union of Thailand, was arrested by a plain-clothed police officer while she was in a taxi travelling to a university in Bangkok, a video shot by Jutatip and posted on her personal Facebook page showed.

The officer identified himself as a member of the Bangkok Metropolitan Police in the video before citing a court’s arrest warrant.

“We are acting on an arrest warrant for the July 18 protest,” a police officer at Samranrat police station in Bangkok said by telephone.

Jutatip will be charged with breaching internal security and coronavirus regulations banning public gathering among other charges, the officer said.

Student groups have rallied almost daily across the country since July 18, calling for a new constitution and an end to military influence over Thai politics after a disputed election last year kept former junta leader Prayut Chan-ocha as Prime Minister five years after he first took power in a 2014 military coup.

Some protesters have also called for reform on the monarchy, until recently a taboo subject in Thailand, which has strict punishments for perceived royal insults.

Police have arrested more than a dozen people, including student leaders, rappers and activists for holding protests since July.

Those arrested so far have all been released on bail.
