- Thousands of anti-government Thai protesters marched to the army barracks on Sunday (Nov 29) to challenge King Maha Vajiralongkorn’s personal control over some military units.
- It was the latest act of defiance against the king by protesters who had broken the taboos by criticising the monarchy.
- The Thai constitution states the monarchy must be revered and the laws ban insulting the institution.
- Protests began in July and initially demanded for the departure of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha, a former military leader, and a new constitution.
- Demonstrators have expanded their demands since then to include curbs on the powers of the king.
