Anti-junta Myanmar students rally at Thai border
Thai authorities closed a major border crossing with Myanmar on
Thursday after a group of dissident Myanmar students and workers
staged a rally against the Yangon junta on the Thai side of the
border, a local official said.
About 200 protesters staged a peaceful demonstration on the Thai
side of the Moi River at Maesot, about 500 kilometers (310 miles)
northwest of Bangkok, demanding that the State Peace and Development
Council hand over power to the people, the official said.
