Thailands military junta has dissolved the countrys last remaining democratic institution – the senate – and ordered dozens of activists and journalists to turn themselves in to the army as protests grow against Thursdays coup. The governing National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) announced in a televised statement late on Saturday that it had dissolved the senate and would be assuming control of all lawmaking powers, a few hours after it summoned 35 prominent academics and activists to report to army headquarters. That was in addition to some 155 leading politicians and leaders it had already called in for questioning.theguardian/world/2014/may/25/thai-junta-dissolves-senate-coup-bangkok
