Protesters in Thailand have rallied around a symbol of resistance that will be familiar to science fiction fans: the three-finger salute featured in The Hunger Games books and movies. As the Associated Press reports, some protesters have begun using the salute as a form of silent opposition to the national military, which seized power under a coup détat on May 22nd. The ruling military junta has gone to great lengths to stifle criticism since coming to power, banning public political gatherings of more than five people and shutting down some TV stations and websites.
