HungerGamesCoupProtest
20 NOVEMBER 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Plainclothes female Thai police officers lead NATCHACAH KONG-UDOM (center) away while arresting her for speaking out against the coup and displaying the three fingered salute from the Hunger Games movies. Kong-Udom was one of at least three people arrested by Thai police during the opening the Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 in Bangkok Thursday. Opponents of the Thai military coup have adapted the three fingered salute used in the Hunger Games series as a sign of their opposition to the coup. In the weeks before the movie opening Thai police arrested several people for using the Hunger Games salute and Thai media reported that one Thai movie theater chain cancelled plans to show the movie at the request of the military government. There were several small protests at theaters showing the movie Thursday. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
