Thousands of young protesters took to the streets of the Thai capital Bangkok on August 16, 2020, in the latest of a series of anti-government protests that have been ongoing for the past month. The Sunday demonstration was considered one of the largest since Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha came to power in a 2014 coup. The student-led movement is calling for a new constitution, the dissolution of parliament, an end to judicial harassment of dissenters and reform of the monarchy. Small groups of pro-government supporters also showed up, singing the Thai national anthem and vowing to defend the monarchy.
