Thailand: Activists plan to demonstrate at the United Nations Building in Bangkok July 2

Event

Activists have called for a demonstration at the United Nations Building in Bangkok from 14:00 July 2 to show support for the pro-democracy movement in Myanmar. While participation in the event is unclear, up to a few hundred people could attend the protest.

Authorities will likely enact increased security measures at the United Nations Building July 2. While the protest will likely pass off peacefully, clashes between protesters and security personnel remain possible. Localized transport and business disruptions could occur near the gathering site, especially if activists occupy nearby streets.

Advice

Avoid the protest site due to possible clashes. If violence occurs nearby, immediately depart the area and seek shelter at a safe nongovernmental building. Plan for possible localized transport disruptions. Heed all official security and transport advisories.
