Bangkok’s Thungmahamek Police Station has issued summonses for pro-democracy activists who led the October 26 march to the German embassy, Passarawalee "Mind" Thanakijwibulpol tweeted on Monday.

The summonses charges Passarawalee and other leaders of sedition under the Criminal Code’s Section 116.

The Criminal Court on Thursday advised the police to issue summonses instead of seeking arrest warrants because the suspects are students who have no intention of escaping.
