BANGKOK – An anti-coup student activist who was arrested in November for flashing an anti-coup gesture was reportedly threatened with rape by a presumably plain-clothed military officer assigned to follow and watch her.

Natcha Kongudom, a transgender student activist from Bangkok University, told Prachatai that she was threatened with rape by an unidentified man on Friday.
