In Thailand, where anti-government demonstrations continue, the largest protest demonstration since the inauguration of the Prayut administration has been held in the capital Bangkok since 19th.
Young people broke through police protection and occupied the square in front of the royal palace, appealing for constitutional amendment and royal government reform.
In Thailand, young people continue to protest against the government, saying that Prime Minister Prayut, who led the military coup, will continue to lead the administration after last year's general election and take a strong stance against the background of military influence. He criticized the king for confirming the current administration and even appealed for monarchy reform.
After rushing into the premises of Thammasat University in Bangkok on the 19th, the young people broke through police protection, occupied the square in front of the adjacent Royal Palace, and held a rally.
The organizer said that at least 50,000 people participated, making it the largest demonstration since the inauguration of the Prayut administration.
At the rally, ten requirements for reforming the monarchy were read, including the removal of constitutional provisions that prohibited criticism of the king.
In addition, the human rights lawyer of the member who leads the protests strongly emphasized the need for reform, saying, "It is okay if my freedom is deprived by appealing for monarchy reform."
A woman who participated in the demonstration said, "In this day and age, the royal family should be close to people. If the royal family is transparent, people will accept it and blasphemy should be abolished."
On the 20th, young people will march to government facilities and hand over requests.
In response, the Prayut administration has increased its vigilance against the actions of the demonstrators, such as by assigning approximately 10,000 police officers to guard government facilities and ordering the military to prepare for dispatch.
