Prayut’s warning doesn’t faze youth groups planning to continue protests

Youth groups across the country have voiced their intention to continue holding anti-government protests, while Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has said they may be violating the law.

“This should not be happening. I won’t make comments now, but the three demands [House dissolution, rewriting of the Constitution and an end to threats against the public for the military to hold on to power] will be proposed in the House and a committee established to handle it,” Prayut said.
Political organisations along with the Student Union of Thailand and the Democracy Restoration Group have set up schedules for protests in different provinces. The schedule has been posted on social media, so interested people can join. The schedules are as follows:
