A leading human rights group is accusing Thailand's military of leading a "disturbing pattern of repression" in the 100 days since it seized power in a coup.
Amnesty International detailed Thursday what it says are hundreds of arbitrary detentions, reports of torture, and sweeping restrictions on freedom of speech and assembly.
The London-based group says the Thai military government, called the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), is trying to "adjust attitudes" and "stifle dissent."
The army rejected the report, saying its internal probe has found no evidence of torture. NCPO spokesman Winthai Suvaree says Amnesty's report was incomplete.
"The authorities insist that we're not allowed to violate human rights. The authorities follow the process according to human rights standards."
The military seized power in May after Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was removed by a court order. General Prayuth Chan-ocha took her place as prime minister. It is the military's 12th coup in the last 80 years.
Since it took power, Amnesty says the military has detained hundreds of people, including many allies of Ms. Yingluck's government. Many have been held incommunicado, without charge or trial. Most were released, but only after promising not to participate in political activities.
The group says there are "credible reports" that many of those detained were subject to torture, including beatings, asphyxiation, and mock executions. One political activist, Kritsuda Khunasen, told Amnesty that authorities beat her and placed a bag over her head during interrogations.
The junta also continues to restrict freedom of expression under martial law. It has banned gatherings of larger than five people and shut down hundreds of websites critical of the military. Amnesty says these measures have had a "chilling effect on public debate and led to widespread self-censorship."
