Protesters at Lan Khon Mueang Town Square packed their belongings and dispersed this afternoon (Friday), after their attempt to march to the APEC meeting at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre was blocked by police.

 

25 protesters are currently in custody at Thung Song Hong police station, following clashes with the police near the town square, according to Thai Lawyers for Human Rights. Several protesters and police officers were slightly injured, with some protesters being hit by rubber bullets.

 

Pol Maj-Gen Archayon Kraithong, spokesman for the Royal Thai Police, said that the arrested protesters face multiple charges, ranging from illegal assembly, defying valid police orders to disperse, assaulting police officers and damaging state property to resisting police in the performance of their duty.

Well, I haven't read this article in its entirety but it seems like a bunch of people hung around on the street causing trouble when they could have just gone home and played chess on line instead. They should learn that next time it's better to just go home and play chess on line instead of causing mischief...well that's what it reads like anyway.
