Thailand’s youth-led protest movement has seen a resurgence of anger about the government’s handling of the pandemic after demonstrations last year attracted hundreds of thousands of people before a crackdown by authorities. Police have readied 750 officers to deal with the planned protest on Tuesday and warned that all public gatherings were illegal under the Covid-19 emergency.
Last weekend, more than a thousand Thai antigovernment protesters clashed with police. Protest leaders who had spent time in jail over previous demonstrations and been released on bail have gone back into custody in recent days.
