BANGKOK - Pupils at more than a dozen Thai high schools raised three-finger"Hunger Games" salutes during the national anthem on Tuesday in a sign of spreading support for student-led anti-government protests.

Some students also wore white ribbons to show their support for protesters, who seek Prayuth's departure, a new constitution and an end to the harassment of activists. Some students have also called for reforms to the monarchy, once a taboo subject. Apart from the political demands, some pupils complain of a school system which emphasises obedience and tradition, from lining up daily for the national anthem to strict rules on uniforms, haircuts and behaviour.
