Anti-government protesters in Bangkok
defied an emergency decree
and a police crackdown the night before
to come out onto the streets
again on Saturday.
Undeterred by police moves to shut down
the center of the Thai capital,
they split into three groups.
To the north, east, and west of the city,
They gathered
and called for the
government to stepdown
and the monarchy to reform.
Earlier in the day,
the police announced the public transport
to the center of Bangkok
would be stopped and roads closed.
Anyone found to be participating
in the protests, they said,
would be arrested and charged.
"We have been constantly telling them
that gatherings are prohibited
because they are illegal.
It doesn't matter whether
the protests are peaceful or not.
They are considered illegal."
But the police were outmaneuvered again.
Mobilizing on social media,
The protesters just reassembled elsewhere.
This group of engineering students had
come prepared for trouble
after seeing the water cannon
and other
police tactics the night before.
"There are rumors that the police would
arrest people right away
without forming
a line or pushing us or dispersing us.
They will arrest us.
I'm worried, so I prepared these."
As night fell,
rumors swirled
of an imminent police crackdown.
At times, the crowds looked lost,
with many of their
leaders already detained.
But the message to the government
remained clear
that they want it to step down.
The protesters have now been out for
four nights in a row
each night they face
strong opposition
from the authorities.
The expected crackdown,
however, never came.
And the protesters didn't push their luck.
After occupying the streets
for four hours,
they packed up and drifted home.
But their point had been made
that they can
and they will continue to fight.
And it seems there's little
the authorities can do to stop them.
