Rights group calls on Thai junta to end repression

Published September 11, 2014 5:30am ET



BANGKOK (AP) — An international human rights group on Thursday called on Thailand’s ruling military to end what it says is a “disturbing pattern of repression” in the country since the army seized power in a May coup.

Amnesty International made the appeal in a new report, saying it has received credible reports that detainees have been tortured. The military, including coup leader Gen. Prayuth Chan-ochoa, has denied such allegations. Junta spokesmen could not be immediately reached Thursday for comment.
