Thai protesters dismiss PM Prayut’s legal threat, refuse to bow to ‘failed govt’


BANGKOK, Nov 20 (THE NATION/ANN) - The “Free Youth” pro-democracy group has urged its supporters not to surrender, after the prime minister declared that “all relevant laws” will be used against protestors.

On Thursday, PM Prayut Chan-o-cha warned that the government and security agencies would step up law enforcement to handle demonstrators who act illegally and fail to respect other people's rights and liberty. The warning came after two days of protest culminated in protesters splashing paint over signs and walls at police headquarters in Bangkok on Wednesday, in retaliation for a crackdown with tear gas and water cannon on Tuesday.
