Thailand protests 2021

The Citizen Lab, a cybersecurity group, claims that at least 30 prominent activists had their devices infected with the spyware between October 2020 and November 2021.

Underlying the movement is a strong desire to reframe what it means to be Thai, moving away from total reliance on the monarchy and military's narrative.

Protesters’ demands remain the same: a constitutional overhaul, new elections and a reform of the monarchy.

Despite rumors of dissent within Prayut Chan-o-cha's coalition, the military is poised to retain its privileged position in Thai politics.

The result was expected, but the former Thai general continues to struggle with a steep legitimacy deficit.

At many Thai universities, academic freedom does not extend to searching criticisms of the political and economic status quo.

After weeks of socially distanced car protests, activists are gearing up for a new campaign of in-person demonstrations.

Anti-government demonstrations have sputtered back to life, but Prime Minister Prayut’s administration shows no signs of giving ground.
