Police in Bangkok on Sunday fired water cannon, rubber bullets and tear gas at protesters demanding that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha step down and the government be held accountable for its mismanagement of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The demonstrators clashed with police after some tried to dismantlebarricades set up across Ratchadamoneon Nok Avenue in a bid to prevent them from marching to Government House.
A number of people were injured, and an area near Democracy Monument was set up for health volunteers to help protesters injured during the police onslaught.
