Thailand's military-appointed attorney-general on Friday charged 19 leaders of the opposition "red shirt" group with violating a junta ban on political gatherings.
In villages scattered through the green rice fields of northeast Thailand, a stronghold of support for former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his opposition "red shirt" movement, people have put politics on hold to mourn King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
Former Thai leader Thaksin Shinawatra has recently told his followers to abide by military rule following the May 22 coup which seized power from his own sister, deposed premier Yingluck.
