Anon Nampa , dressed as a wizard, attends a Harry Potter-themed protest demanding the resignation of Thailand's Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha in Bangkok, Thailand, Aug 3, 2020. BANGKOK: Thai police have summoned five organisers of student-led protests against the government, saying they had violated a coronavirus emergency decree that forbids large gatherings, police told Reuters on Wednesday .
That demonstration was among a series of near-daily, student-led rallies around Thailand since mid July that have demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and amendments to a military-drafted Constitution they say maintains army influence over the political system. Defaming the monarchy is punishable by up to 15 years in prison under Thailand's strict lese majeste law, which Anon had also criticised.Police said they were looking into what took place at Monday's protest, where Anon was a key speaker.
