Protesters vow to rally at Ratchaprasong today after PM ignores deadline to resign

Pro-democracy protesters of the Ratsadon (The People) group vowed to hold an anti-government rally at the Ratchaprasong intersection on Sunday and outside the Germany embassy on Monday.

After Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha refused to resign by 10pm on Saturday as demanded by the protesters, the United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration posted on Facebook and Twitter their plans to hold a rally outside the German embassy on Monday.

Meanwhile, pro-democracy activist Jatupat “Pai Dao Din” Boonpatararaksa told protesters gathered outside Bangkok Remand Prison, demanding the release of their arrested leaders, to disperse from the rally site at midnight, and vowed to hold a rally at the Ratchaprasong intersection on Sunday.

Separately, Move Forward Party MP Rangsiman Rome said there was no hint of the government bowing to the demands of the protesters, even though a few of them had been released from detention.
