BANGKOK (AP): Prosecutors in Thailand indicted five pro-democracy activists on Wednesday (March 31) on changes of attempting to harm the queen during a street demonstration last October in which some protesters shouted slogans critical of the monarchy.

Queen Suthida, the wife of King Maha Vajiralongkorn, was not in any evident danger in the incident, which occurred when a limousine carrying the queen and the king’s son, Prince Dipangkorn Rasmijoti, passed through a small crowd of protesters mixed with supporters of the royal family.
