NEWS ARCHIVE OF UNDER REPORTED VIOLENCE COMMITTED BY THAILAND PROTESTERS

The ongoing protests in Thailand have given rise to rumours, allegations and fake news spreading online. Since September 2020, the people of Thailand have been living under the shadow of violent protests that have extended to almost every neighborhood of the Bangkok. The Royal Thai Police has had to mobilize public order resources in order to maintain law and order. Most alarmingly, rioters have sought to escalate their violence through the use of weapons to launch life-threatening attacks on police officers.

So far, over 90 police officers have been injured and one out of them died during the protest on February 28, 2021. This shows officers have been extremely retrained in using force in face of an increasing number of deadly attacks.
