Student movements blaze back, but for how long?

13 Sept 09:14 Key points summarised by AI

The dissolution of the Future Forward Party by the Constitutional Court ignited a wave of campus rallies across Thailand, initially protesting the perceived injustice.
Student demands quickly broadened beyond party support to include constitutional reform, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's resignation, and the dissolution of the House, driven by a desire for "real political changes."
While the activism is unprecedented, analysts question its long-term sustainability and ability to escalate into prolonged street protests without military support, citing differences from past movements and students' focus on personal futures.
Experts suggest the government could potentially defuse tensions and buy time by agreeing to rewrite the current Constitution, addressing a key demand of the student movement.
