Police are under fire after being accused of attacking a volunteer medic during a pro-democracy protest on Saturday night that ended with eight demonstrators detained and 20 wounded.
Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB) chief Phukphong Phongpetra, however, said the person was not a professional medical staff member but a volunteer for a group that provided first aid -- and was allegedly among the people who instigated the incident.
A group representing doctors who work in provincial hospitals on Sunday denounced police for the incident outside the Supreme Court compound near Sanam Luang. The group, the Rural Doctor Society, demanded an explanation and legal action against the officers involved, saying it was a violation of human rights.
