Thailand: Activists to mark anniversary of 2021 Myanmar military coup with rally at Tha Phae Gate, Chiang Mai, 17:00-19:00 Feb. 1

Activists plan to rally at Tha Phae Gate in Chiang Mai, 17:00-19:00 Feb. 1. The purpose of the action is to mark the third anniversary of the military coup in Myanmar. Dozens of people are likely to participate in the action.

Authorities will likely bolster security at the protest site. Localized transport disruptions are possible, especially if activists occupy nearby streets. Clashes between demonstrators and security personnel cannot be ruled out, especially if activists defy orders to disperse. Mass arrests could occur if protesters become overly disruptive or security forces determine demonstrators violate any public gathering permit requirements.
