Thousands of anti-government protesters take part in the “Run Against Dictatorship” in the Thai capital in the biggest political demonstration in years.
Supporters of the anti-military Future Forward Party participate in a run dubbed as "Run Against Dictatorship" at a park in Bangkok, Thailand, Sunday, Jan. 12, 2020. About 6000 runners participated in a 3 kilometer run to demonstrate against the government led by former army general Prayuth Chan-ocha.
T-shirts were emblazoned with caricatures of Prayuth, and placards on a stage carried tongue-in-cheek slogans, such as “Every drop of sweat is for the future of Thailand” and “Getting rid of Uncle is harder than getting rid of belly fat.” Prayuth’s nickname is ’Uncle Tu.” “Everything’s worse,” he said through a full face mask. “The economy is worse and people are facing difficulties including over freedom of expression.”
The party’s rise in popularity has been met with legal cases, through the Election Commission and the Constitutional Court, for a number of alleged breaches of the law. Many now assume the party will be found guilty and dissolved, possibly even this month.
