Thai police and anti-government protesters have clashed in the centre of the capital. Water cannon were used to break through a barricade set up by demonstrators in Bangkok. For a third day in a row, thousands of people defied a government ban on gatherings. They are calling for the prime minister’s resignation and reforms to the monarchy.

Hundreds of protesters gathered on Thursday in the Thai capital, Bangkok, calling for police to free arrested activists, defying emergency measures imposed earlier to quell a pro-democracy movement. Thailand imposed “serious” emergency measures banning gatherings of more than five people in a bid to stop youth-led demonstrations that have been rocking the country since mid-July.

Student-led demonstrations have been taking place in Thailand for months. The young protest leaders are using new methods to make their message heard, taking their efforts online as well as on the street. They recently targeted advertisers on a news network they say is pro-government, urging their supporters to boycott companies running advertisements on the network. And big-name brands have responded, pulling their advertising from the network.
