Deputy Prime Minister Prawit WongsuwonBlack T-shirts with a "separatist movement" symbol seized from a vendor came from a single source in Laos, a group of Thai anti-monarchists fleeing prosecution for lese majeste, according to Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon. Gen Prawit, also the defence minister, said on Tuesday the group wanted "an administration without the institution". "They came from a single source in the Lao PDR and it has a network in Thailand. There have been communications about selling shirts and flags," Gen Prawit said. The man was prosecuted for lese majeste and sedition, and security authorities had monitored his activities for a long time, Gen Prawit said.
