Thailand: Activists plan to hold protest march in Bangkok from 13:00 July 16

Political activists from the Thalugaz group plan to hold a protest march in Bangkok July 16 to denounce the death of an activist in prison. Participants will gather at the US embassy from 13:00 before heading to the EU office in Athenee Tower 14:00-14:30 and UN building 15:00-15:30. The level of participation is unclear, but dozens of people could attend the gathering.

Authorities will likely maintain increased security near the protest venues July 16. Localized transport disruptions could occur around gathering sites and the march route. Clashes between demonstrators and security personnel may occur, particularly if participants attempt to bypass security barriers.
