Is Thai PM Gen Prayuth such a delicate flower that he cannot cope with 2 protesters with home-made banners? The police overreacted here. Illustrates the problem with unending emergency rule.

BANGKOK — Police on Thursday said two activists were charged with violating the Emergency Decree after they attempted to raise banners condemning PM Prayut Chan-ocha during his visit to Rayong province.

 

Police spokesman Kissana Phathanacharoen said two men, identified as Nutchanon Payakaphan and Panupong Jadnok, were arrested Wednesday for failing to comply with police orders. The pair, who said they were there to protest Prayut’s handling of the coronavirus, said they did not do anything wrong.
