Thai PM appeals for unity as protests continue

THAILAND’S prime minister called for unity and urged the kingdom to “say no to the politics of hate” in a televised address today, following weeks of anti-government protests that have grown bolder in targeting Thai power.

The country has seen near-daily demonstrations by pro-democracy student-led groups demanding an overhaul of Prayut Chan-O-Cha’s administration and a rewrite of a 2017 military-scripted constitution.
