Two protesters brave police to leave food and a question for Prayut
Two pro-democracy protesters showed up at Government House at around noon on Monday to put up a banner reading: “How long do dictators want to stay in power?” and pour out cat and dog food underneath it for “Prayut Chan-o-cha and his owner”.
They then announced that rallies will be held across the nation next Monday to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut, a more democratic Constitution and reform of the monarchy.
This action was done in full view of riot police officers, who were stationed outside Government House to deal with protesters in case they show up in large numbers.
Roads nearby were also closed and barriers put up around the complex. The police chief was also at hand to ensure no violence is used against protesters if they try to break through the barriers.
