Thai protestors use Hunger Games hand gesture
Protesters against military rule gesture by holding up their three middle fingers in the air, during a brief demonstration at a shopping mall in Bangkok, June 1, 2014.
Thailand's military government sent thousands of troops and police into central Bangkok on Sunday to stop any demonstrations against its seizure of power, and some shopping malls and train stations closed to avoid trouble. According to some, the three fingered gesture stood for freedom, equality and brotherhood.
