Thailand: Activist group Thumb Rights planning demonstration at the ALL RISE (iLaw) Building in Bangkok 16:00-20:00 May 6
Activists plan to gather at ALL RISE (iLaw) Building in Bangkok, Thailand, 16:00-20:00 May 6. Increased security likely.
Activist group Thumb Rights is planning to stage a demonstration at the ALL RISE (iLaw) Building in Bangkok 16:00-20:00 May 6. The purpose of the action is to show solidarity for detainees facing charges under Section 112. Dozens of participants will likely join the demonstration.
Authorities will likely bolster security around the protest site. Localized transport disruptions are probable, especially if activists occupy nearby streets. Clashes between demonstrators and security personnel are possible, particularly if activists attempt to bypass security barriers or defy orders to disperse. Arrests could occur if participants become overly disruptive or security forces determine that they are violating public gathering permit requirements.
Avoid the protest sites as a precaution. If violence occurs nearby, immediately depart the area and seek shelter at a safe nongovernmental building. Plan for likely localized transport disruptions in the vicinity. Heed all official security and transport advisories.
