Thailand: Activists plan demonstration and march in Bangkok June 11

Event

Activists plan to protest under the banner "Walk Chasing Du" in Bangkok June 11. Participants will gather at Democracy Monument 14:00 and march to Victory Monument, where they will hold a demonstration 18:00. The march is planned along Lan Luang, Phetchaburi, and Phaya Thai roads. Participation may reach several hundred people.

Authorities will probably bolster security, including erecting roadblocks and security cordons, at the rally sites and along the march route June 11. Localized transport and business disruptions are likely, especially if activists occupy roads. Clashes between the police and protesters are possible.

Advice

Avoid the protest sites June 11 due to possible clashes. Plan for localized transport disruptions and allow additional time to reach nearby destinations. If violence occurs nearby, immediately leave the area and seek shelter at a safe nongovernment building. Heed all official traffic and security advisories.
