Tensions remain high between Thai government and protesters

Thailand’s government and the country’s pro-democracy movement appeared no closer to resolving their differences as the protesters' evening deadline for Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to step down approached.BANGKOK: Thailand’s government and the country’s pro-democracy movement appeared no closer to resolving their differences Saturday , as the protesters' evening deadline for Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to step down approached.

“If all parties are committed to exercise full restraint and flexibility, the circumstances would be more conducive to de-escalating the current tense political conflict and reaching an outcome that is acceptable to all stakeholders,” said Saturday’s statement, quoting government spokesperson Anucha Burapachaisri.

Protesters had rallied outside the prison on Friday to press for their comrades’ release. They welcomed the release of Jatupat, who called for seven others still imprisoned to be freed.Advertisement There is concern that the situation may become more volatile, because in the past week there has been a mobilisation of forces who claim to be defenders of the monarchy.

An overt, symbolic gesture that may vitalize the pro-monarchy faction.
