Leaders of the anti government protests in Thailand have surrendered to police on charges of inciting unrest but were immediately bailed and have vowed to continue their protest.

Seven leaders of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) turned themselves in to police after charges of treason against them were quashed by the Court of Appeal on Thursday, but after 90 minutes they were freed.

Everything is done. There is no detention," Sondhi Limthongkul, the head of the PAD, told reporters after his release.

The original arrest orders for treason were issued on August 27, the day after PAD protesters armed with golf clubs, stakes and machetes stormed a state television station, broke into ministries and overran the prime minister's official compound.

If trying to bring down a Government by non-democratic means is not treason, than what is?

Look what they done to Guy Fawkes and his punishment has continued each 5th of November for the last 500 years.
