Protesters to rally at Democracy Monument on Sunday, write letters to King
Student-led pro-democracy protesters will rally on Sunday (November 8) at Democracy Monument in Bangkok, according to their Facebook page.
On Thursday, the United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration (UFTD) and its ally Free Youth urged people to gather at the monument at 4pm for a march to another location, which they did not name.
The protest groups also asked pro-democracy supporters to write letters to His Majesty the King. They urged the supporters to keep pressing the movement’s three core demands as follows:
1. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and his subordinates must quit their illegitimate political roles so as to restore democratic rule with the King under the Constitution.
2. The Constitution must be rewritten for fairer administration of the country. The new Constitution must be written in the interests of all Thais, not just privileged groups.
3. The monarchy must be reformed. This reformation means improvement.
The groups said their political campaign was not a choice, but the only way to pull the country out of its present crisis.
