BANGKOK — A group of pro-democracy activists on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against the authorities alleging they used excessive force during a crackdown on a 2015 political gathering in the capital.

 

Thirteen members of the New Democracy Movement said in the suit they were injured and unlawfully deprived of liberty by security forces when they broke up a peaceful sit-in on May 22, 2015, marking the first anniversary of the coup that brought the junta to power.
