DON TALEENYWUN Sunday May 24 Moei River, near Mae Sot
Thai military and police photographed participants a peaceful march to protest charges laid against Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi by Burma’s ruling military junta on Sunday afternoon.
The small, vocal gathering marched perhaps 200m on Thai soil from the Moei River past the Immigration office alongside the Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge.
In front of rows of songtaews awaiting passengers, a short speech was delivered and then the cluster of protesters dispersed.
Thai soldiers hung back from the main group, photographing them from a distance of 60-70m.
Thai police were closer, some blatantly photographing the marchers, many of whom were foreigners.
There were probably about 75 people marching, a few carried signs
