150,000 Protesters to Rally Against Thai PM at Victory Monument

Over 150,000 people are expected to gather at Victory Monument on June 28 in a mass protest demanding Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s resignation. Led by the “Ruam Palang Paendin” group, organisers emphasise that the rally is not a call for military intervention but a peaceful stand for national sovereignty, particularly in light of perceived government mishandling of the Thai-Cambodian border issue. Protest leaders Jatuporn Promphan and Panthep Puapongpan chose Victory Monument for its symbolism of reclaimed national territory. They have also pledged to minimise disruption to nearby hospitals and urged focus on the leaked call with Hun Sen, stressing its implications over its origin. The protest could mark a turning point in Thai politics.
