Activists affiliated with the People's Movement for a Just Society (P-Move) group are participating in a sit-in demonstration outside the Government House in Bangkok as of the afternoon of Oct. 22. Participants are demanding civil and land rights. Dozens of people are participating in the action.
Heightened security and associated transport disruptions are likely in the affected area.

Officials may arrest overly disruptive demonstrators.
