Authorities reopened traffic around Victory Monument, late evening on 28 June, after a political rally led by prominent activist figures was officially brought to an end.
The demonstration, organised by the “United Land Power to Protect Sovereignty” group, began earlier in the day and saw supporters gather in significant numbers around the major Bangkok landmark. Leading the protest were former red-shirt leader Jatuporn Prompan, Panthep Phuaphongphan, Nitithorn Lamlua, and Phichit Chaimongkol from the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC).
Protest leaders took turns delivering speeches on stage throughout the day, drawing attention from passers-by and requiring a heavy police presence to manage safety and traffic disruption.
At 21:45, the Metropolitan Police Bureau confirmed that the protest had officially concluded. The rally leaders made a formal announcement ending the demonstration, allowing police to begin reopening roads and restoring normal traffic flow around the area.
Officers remained on-site to assist with traffic management and ensure the safety of the public.
Despite the disruption earlier in the day, the event concluded without reports of violence or major incident.
