Two protesters were injured when Thai police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at a Bangkok rally Friday — the third time this week — as coronavirus cases soar and anger builds over the government’s handling of the pandemic.
Protesters gathered in Bangkok at a major intersection by Victory Monument, defying a ban on public gatherings, and set fire to sacks of rotting fruit to symbolise the economic hardship of farmers. Police used barbed wire and rows of shipping containers to block their path while officers fired tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannon.
“There is clear evidence that some people among the protest group have contracted Covid-19,” Metropolitan Police Bureau chief Phukphong Phongpetra told reporters on Friday.
