rally

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha made no comments on how his government would cope with groups of demonstrators who would protest against his office at Government House.

The Metropolitan Police Bureau predicted anti-government rallies would be violent tomorrow and on Saturday because violence-oriented protesters were likely to join them.

The national police chief said he put 69 companies of riot police on standby to cope with anti-government rallies on Feb 19-20 and they were prepared for violent incidents.

The Office of the Attorney-General will next month announce its indictment decision on 13 rally leaders charged with lese majeste and sedition.

Khana Ratsadorn (People’s Group) demanded Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha resign within 10pm tonight while inviting supporters to join its rally in front of the Bangkok Remand Prison.
