Thailand: Political activists plan to stage demonstration at Criminal Court of Thailand in Bangkok from 09:00 March 20
Demonstration planned at the Criminal Court of Thailand in Bangkok, Thailand, from 09:00 March 20. Increased security, disruptions likely.
The political activist group Thalugaz plans to stage a demonstration at the Criminal Court of Thailand in Bangkok from 09:00 March 20. The purpose of the action is to express solidarity with two activists on hunger strike during their detention hearing. Dozens of people will likely attend the rally.
Authorities will likely bolster security around the protest site. Localized transport disruptions are probable, especially if activists occupy nearby roads. Clashes between demonstrators and security personnel may occur, particularly if participants attempt to bypass security barriers or defy orders to disperse. Mass arrests can occur if protesters become overly disruptive or security forces determine that demonstrators violate any public gathering permit requirements.
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 localized transport disruptions. Heed all official security and transport advisories
