PM says authorities won’t spark violence at Thammasat rally
The government would not do anything to trigger violence at the major anti-government rally on September 19, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said on Monday.
Prayut said he had ordered all relevant state agencies to ensure the safety of the demonstrators and not to allow any third party to take advantage of the event.
Groups of student activists will stage the rally at Thammasat’s Tha Prachan Campus in Bangkok to call for a rewrite of the junta-drafted Constitution, a halt to intimidation of activists, and dissolution of Parliament.
