Does anyone have any updates (maybe from wives' Thai social media or the news) on the protests down at Democracy Monument tonight (July 18th)?

Is it a true protest and what is it regarding.  GF's Facebook page has people out at that location but nothing being said, just photos with lots of police, live stream being conducted but then there is also something happening in Siam Square as well.

A political protest, demanding a change of Government and organized by a group called “Free YOUTH", is underway at the Democracy Monument in the centre of Bangkok, despite an emergency decree being in force, due to the #COVID19 pandemic. (1) #เยาวชนปลดแอก

GF just told me there are groups out near Khao San Road as well....unsure of the issues she said.

anyone have live stream links ? 

Dang, what do these people want? Democracy? Jeez, next they'll be wanting right to free speech, right to representation, ... Just goes downhill from there.

Just saw the quick break on the news, looks like its a sit in now with speeches being given, and the police just standing there doing nothing. Someone was delivering pizzas within the crowd.....lol
