Police detained 35 protesters and seized 20 motorcycles and some weapons, including a gun and explosives, during violent protests in the Din Daeng area of Bangkok on Sunday.

 

Pol Maj-Gen Piya Tavichai, deputy commissioner of Metropolitan Police Bureau, told the media Sunday night that, since July, police have issued 118 summonses for protest leaders and some of their followers to acknowledge charges ranging from arson and illegal possession of firearms to illegal public assembly and causing unrest.

 

He said that police will also ask the court to confiscate the motorcycles and weapons seized.
