Victory Monument erupts in protest against PM despite heavy rain

11 Sept 02:19 Key points summarised by AI

Protesters defied heavy rain at Victory Monument, demanding Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's resignation and criticizing her and her father, Thaksin.
The rally was largely triggered by leaked details of Paetongtarn's call with Hun Sen, where she allegedly undermined Thailand's military and sovereignty, fueling public distrust.
Thousands of demonstrators, including provincial attendees and former "Red Shirts," voiced strong concerns over national sovereignty and the PM's fitness for office.
Despite a significant police presence, the protest remained peaceful, with PM Paetongtarn acknowledging the protesters' right to demonstrate.
