Thai police disperse a group of pro-democracy protesters who camped out overnight outside the office of the prime minister to demand his resignation, leading him to implement a state of emergency in the capital area.

Pro-democracy protesters push Thai policemen with riot shields during a demonstration in Bangkok, Thailand, Thursday, Oct. 15, 2020. Thai police dispersed a group of protesters holding an overnight rally outside the prime minister's office.

The police operation came after Prayuth declared a severe state of emergency in the Bangkok area to allow authorities to move against the protests. It bans unauthorized gatherings of more than five people.Thailand is technically still under a state of emergency as part of coronavirus restrictions. “Those who are calling for a protest later at Rajaprasong are clearly breaking the law. Those who attend will be breaking the law. You cannot say that they are not aware of the order. We are making it clear,” Kissana said at a news conference.

The latest rally started on Wednesday with thousands of protesters marching from Bangkok’s Democracy Monument to Government House. It was the third major gathering by activists who want to keep up the momentum in their campaign for democratic change. The situation was complicated by King Maha Vajiralongkorn’s scheduled drive past the protest venue to attend a royal ceremony. The protesters said they would make way but there was a possibility that they could at a minimum show public disrespect for the crown. Several cars normally used by the royal family were seen on nearby streets but their occupants could not be confirmed.

The police just dismissed the generals in charge yet if everything is such an emergency they wouldn’t be so easy on the people in charge.

Poverty and income inequality and corruption those are the real “state of emergencies”. Not protesters wanting a real democracy
