The NDM activists were charged with sedition and breaking the junta’s ban on political gatherings of five or more people. Without a court warrant, the police officers, led by Chayapol, requested permission to search Sirikan’s car to confiscate the activists’ mobile phones. She refused, resulting in the police impounding her car containing the phones, case files and personal computers. The following afternoon, she went to police station to file a complaint of malfeasance regarding the seizure of her car against Chayapol and other officials. Officers initially refused to take the complaint, but it was eventually accepted.
