The people who honked their car horn and tried to cut in on a royal motorcade early this month will be charged later this week, the national police chief said on Monday.
On Feb 4, Tantawan Tuatulanon and a colleague from the Thalu Wang (breaking into palace) group allegedly attempted to interrupt the motorcade of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn on an expressway in Bangkok, honking their car horn and trying to cut into the middle of the convoy.
Ms Tantawan, 20, is a campaigner against royal motorcades and the disruption they cause.
She was arrested on March 5, 2022 on charges of violating Section 112 (the lese majeste law) of the Criminal Code by running an opinion poll on Facebook on royal motorcades on Feb 8, 2022, and making a live broadcast on the topic on March 5.
On Feb 8, 2022, she also led an activity in front of Siam Paragon shopping mall, seeking people's opinions on the subject, which resulted in Ms Tantawan being charged with defaming the monarchy.
The group had planned to continue their polling on royal motorcades, but were confronted by royalist opponents on Saturday and there was a brawl at Siam BTS station.
