Police question Thai politicians who criticized junta
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Supporters of eight prominent Thai politicians who criticized the country's ruling junta shouted "fight, fight" as the group arrived at a Bangkok police station for questioning.
Police are investigating the members of the Pheu Thai party, which was the governing party ousted in a 2014 coup, after they held a news conference last week on the junta's performance despite a police warning not to proceed.
Phumtham Wechayachai, the party's secretary-general, said Monday that nothing they'd done had broken the law.

Junta leader Prayuth Chan-ocha, who staged the coup, has repeatedly postponed promised elections.
