Thai army detains Yingluck, family members

Thailand's military government has detained former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and members of her family. They were detained on Friday after she and other ministers were summoned for talks at a Bangkok military facility a day after the military seized power from her caretaker government. ‘We have detained Yingluck, her sister and brother-in-law,’ a senior military officer said. The two relatives have held top political posts. ‘We will do so for not more than week, that would be too long. We just need to organise matters in the country first,’ said the officer, who declined to say where Yingluck was being held, according to Reuters.
