Political activist group to rally at Ministry of Justice in Bangkok, Thailand, from 16:00 Aug. 19. Increased security likely.
Political activist group Thalugaz plans to stage a demonstration at the Ministry of Justice from 16:00 Aug. 19. The purpose of the action is to denounce Section 112 of the Criminal Code, also known as the lese-majeste law, and demand the release of detained activists. Dozens of people could join the gathering.
Police will likely deploy additional personnel to monitor the protest. Although violence is unlikely, isolated scuffles are possible. Localized transport disruptions may occur, particularly if activists occupy nearby streets.
Avoid the protest site as a precaution. Plan for possible transport disruptions and allow additional travel time. Heed all local security advice.
