BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai authorities arrested a student leader and legal adviser on Friday over anti-government protests, a legal group said, as young protesters said they wanted to expand their movement and escalate their anti-government activities.

Protesters, led by student groups, are returning to Thailand's streets calling for the ousting of a conservative government led by pro-military politicians less than two years after a general election.

Anon called for reforms of Thailand's powerful monarchy, a highly sensitive topic, at a protest on Monday, but the arrest warrant, seen by Reuters, did not refer to that. It also said Anon breached the communicable disease control act over the protest, referring to coronavirus restrictions on public gatherings.

"The arrest of protest leaders came as they brought out people to demonstrate, the police received complaints," Kritsana said.
