Thailand: Activists plan to protest in Bangkok and Narathiwat Oct. 15
Activists plan to protest in Bangkok and Narathiwat, Thailand, Oct. 15 to mark 2004 Tak Bai Massacre. Increased security likely.
Activists are staging demonstrations on Oct. 15 to mark the 2004 Tak Bai Massacre. Demonstrators will gather at Peace Bird Monument in Narathiwat from 16:40 and Bangkok Art and Culture Centre in Bangkok from 19:00. Dozens to hundreds of protestors could participate in each rally.
Authorities will likely deploy additional personnel to monitor the demonstrations. Localized transport disruptions could occur if activists occupy or march along streets. The protests are likely to pass off peacefully, although isolated scuffles are possible between police and activists.
Avoid the protest sites as a precaution. Allow additional time for journeys to nearby destinations. Heed instructions from authorities. Leave the area at the first sign of scuffles.
