Citizens in Bangkok took to the prime minister’s office on Wednesday calling for his resignation and political reforms, including the introduction of a new constitution and limiting the monarch’s powers.
The Thai government has declared an emergency decree amid continuing anti-government protests in the country, state TV reported on early Thursday.
The announcement said that citizens have recently incited “illegal public assemblies” and confronted law enforcement in the Thai capital, so the government felt the need to introduce urgent measures to establish law and order in the country.
On Wednesday, thousands of protesters confronted the royal motorcade and called for the ousting of Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha. Protesters have also demanded a new constitution and changes to the monarchy.
Clashes were also reported between anti-government protesters and those who took to streets in support of the Thai monarchy.
