<div>Why did the Thai military junta keep us as their "guest detainees" for up to a week without charges?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is it about intimidation, punishment, a show of power, a psychological ploy, a mere warning - or all of the above?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>One Army colonel at the military camp in Ratchaburi province, where a dozen of us ended up under military detention, said it was like handing us a football yellow card but not yet a red card.
