Anti-government protest leaders, who are facing charges for allegedly offending the monarchy, on Thursday vowed to drum up public support for their call for the revocation of Section 112 of the Criminal Code, or the lese majeste law.
In a joint statement read at the 14 October 1973 Memorial, one of the anti-government movement's three rally sites in Bangkok on Thursday, eight protest leaders facing lese majeste charges insisted they would not settle for anything less than the law being repealed.
