Around 50 police holding riot shields cleared out about 100 protesters who had gathered at the station, where activists had gathered to lay flowers and candles on Friday. The Din Daeng intersection has become a flashpoint between protesters and security forces. Clashes have often resulted in violence, with protesters throwing rocks, and police using water cannons and firing rubber bullets.
