A crowd of about 300 pro-democracy demonstrators gathered outside Bangkok’s Bang Khen Police Station on Monday to support actress Intira “Sai” Charoenpura, Arnon Nampa, Parit “Penguin” Chiwarak and others as they turned up to hear lese-majeste charges.

The demonstrators gathered in response to a United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration Facebook post on Sunday calling for a protest at the police station.

Intira was charged along with seven protesters, including Arnon and Parit – all for their roles in the demonstration outside Bangkok’s 11th Infantry Regiment base on November 29.
