An anti-coup protester was arrested at the Victory Monument, Bangkok, on Wednesday evening.
The military arrested the 40-year-old man at the Victory Monument shortly after the national anthem ended at 6pm. He was now detained at the office of the Crime Suppression Diivision.
He told Prachatai on Thursday that he came to protest alone and was arrested when he was about to go home.
He said he owns a small construction company.
