Activists to rally at Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission in Bangkok, Thailand, from 10:30 Sept. 20. Tight security likely.
Several activist organizations plan to gather at the Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission in Bangkok from 10:30 Sept. 20. The purpose of the action is to pressure the National Anti-Corruption Commission on its investigation into allegations that former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was granted preferential treatment by the Police General Hospital while in remand. Over 100 participants could join the demonstration.
Police will likely maintain a heightened security presence around the rally site. Although violence is unlikely, isolated scuffles are possible. Localized transport disruptions may occur, particularly if activists march along or 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.
