In the country of Thailand, the era of protests is not stopping. Thousands of citizens of the Thai joined demonstrations that jumped up across Bangkok on Saturday in resistance to a crackdown on three months of protests directed at the government and the powerful government. Police used water cannon for the first time on Friday and closed much of the city’s transport system on Saturday to try to thwart protesters, but they assembled wherever they could.

An office worker, also a witness, said she followed thousands of people protesting at the Lat Phrao station on Saturday after seeing the pictures of police firing water cannon at youth-led protesters, including many school children. She said, “It was way over the line. We want to show them our power and that we can’t accept this.” Many other demonstrators asserted the same anger and said they were out for the first time. Protests have drawn tens of thousands of people to the streets to demand the removal of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, a former military ruler. They have also become openly critical of King Maha Vajiralongkorn despite lese majeste laws that can mean 15 years in jail for insulting the monarchy.

On Thursday, the government outlawed all political gatherings of five or more people. Police have arrested more than 50 people including several protest leaders in the past week. “Violent or not, all gatherings are illegal,” police spokesman Yingyos Thepjamnong told a news conference. But police made no immediate attempt to stop the protest at Lat Phrao. The Royal Palace has made no comment on the protests but the king has said Thailand needed people who love the country and the monarchy.
