BANGKOK, Nov 14 — Hundreds of protesters rallied in Bangkok today against a decision by a top court that ruled calling for royal reforms amounted to a bid to overthrow Thailand’s ultra-powerful monarchy.
Defying a ban on gatherings, hundreds of protesters amassed in Bangkok’s main shopping district to rail against the decision, holding signs that said they do not want an absolute monarchy. Police briefly clashed with some demonstrators, firing rubber bullets which hit at least one protester who was bleeding from his chest, according to an AFP reporter on the ground. The injured man was rushed into an ambulance.
The current protest movement kicked off in mid-2020, with student-led rallies calling for Premier Prayut Chan-O-Cha to step down and for reforms to the monarchy.
