BANGKOK (Kyodo) -- Protests returned to the streets of Thailand's capital Bangkok on Sunday with demonstrators calling for reform of the monarchy, despite a recent ruling of the Constitutional Court banning such protests.
Some 800 protesters gathered in the center of Bangkok to vent their anger at the court's ruling, which ordered pro-democracy leaders to end all actions against the monarchy, claiming that King Maha Vajiralongkorn has taken absolute power in ruling the country and caused inequality.
