Ratsadon protesters rally against lèse majesté law at Democracy Monument

13 Sept 10:52 Key points summarised by AI

The anti-establishment Ratsadon group protested at Democracy Monument, demanding the abolition of Thailand's lèse majesté law (Section 112).
Protesters utilized a massive red cloth for people to write their demands, with intentions to symbolically wrap it around a chedi at Wat Saket.
Wat Saket announced a closure for 'cleaning' to preempt the protest, while police deployed barricades, cited public health violations, and had reinforcements and water cannons on standby.
A scuffle erupted between police and protesters near the Supreme Court, marked by loud, percussive sounds of unknown origin.
