KHON KAEN: About 100 people took to the streets on Sunday in a demonstration against dictatorship and mark the eight-year anniversary of the May 22 coup by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) that toppled the Pheu Thai-led government of former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
The demonstrators were "red shirts" affilicated with the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) and other anti-government groups in the province.
On Sunday morning, they converged at the Khon Kaen democracy monument before marching past the municipality office, eventually stopping in front of the Muang police station on Klang Muang road.
