webfact Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Police, water cannons stand ready to deal with protesters outside Parliament By The Nation A team of police officers and two water cannon trucks have been made ready to control protesters who will march to Parliament at 4pm on Thursday (September 24). At 11am, reporters at the Kiak Kai intersection said some people had arrived at the protesters’ assembly point and were waiting to witness the result of the debate on charter amendments. Meanwhile, police blocked both sides of Sam Sen Road to prevent crowds from rushing into the area and has stationed two water cannon trucks to control crowds, and two prison vans to pick up protesters who violate the law. The situation early in the afternoon was peaceful, though more anti-government protesters are expected to start gathering from 4pm and will be there until 10pm.

Popular Post RichardColeman Posted September 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2020 Seriously ? Getting out the water cannon on your populace as they want better democracy - this is just showing the world how far Thailand has slipped round the democratic u-bend ! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post colinneil Posted September 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2020 Just shows Prayut and his cronies are running scared. Thailand will fast turn into a battleground, if they even think about using water cannon. Intimidation tactics are being put in place, let the protesters see we mean business, disgusting. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al-Jazeera night-time reporting (correspondent outside Parliament) shows people sitting down listening to protest speeches with no signs of confrontation or potential violence. Also analysis and discussion with informed observers and commentators via Skype, etc. Edited September 24, 2020 by Enoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only have to look at the so-called long established and oldest institutions who have supposedly have democracies such as the UK and USA and seriously they are not and only a very small percentage of their populations bother to vote and yes there may be Parliament but rules etc are pushed through and slyly.
