The 2022 Apec summit wrapped up in Bangkok over the weekend with a plethora of photo opportunities showing Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha rubbing shoulders with global leaders.
The Royal Thai Police (RTP) will launch an investigation into the assault of two journalists injured in the clash between riot police and anti-government protesters during the Apec Summit last week, said national police chief Damrongsak Kittiprapas.
Twenty-three out of 25 protesters detained following a clash with riot police on Friday have been released on bail while the two remaining demonstrators are expected to be freed later on Saturday.
Police fired rubber bullets to prevent demonstrators moving from Din So Road near the Democracy Monument in Bangkok to the Apec summit venue on Friday, and made eight arrests.
