HungerGamesCoupProtest
20 NOVEMBER 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: NATCHACAH KONG-UDOM holds up her movie ticket to the Hunger Games while riding the escalator to the theater at the Siam Paragon movie theaters. She 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
