Anusorn Unno, a core leader of the Thai Academic Network for Civil Rights, is seen on a trip to the South. The eight charged belong to the People Go Network of activists and academics which organised the anti-junta march that runs until Feb 17. The 450km march from the capital to the northeastern province of Khon Kaen has drawn participants from civil rights groups concerned over issues ranging from healthcare, alternative farming and natural resources to freedom of expression. Civil organisations, meanwhile, sponsored offensives to educate the public about the rights and freedoms of the 'little people'. "They [the NCPO] can say what they want, because they have the power, the tanks and the special laws," he said.
