Police in Thailand say they have arrested the leader of the anti-government demonstration that forced the cancellation of a regional summit yesterday.

A Thai police spokesman says they arrested the man at his home in the capital Bangkok.

He says the man was arrested on the charge of inciting protesters to kidnap the prime minister and cause unrest in the country.
