After seeing growing anti-government protests like this one near Democracy Monument last Saturday, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has promised a crackdown on 'backwards' political demonstrations. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Tuesday vowed to get tough on political agitators, saying all people must be subject to the law. "I do not know what they want," said Gen Prayut. They must be enforced equally," Gen Prayut said after a National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) meeting. Referring to government efforts to seek their extradition, Gen Prayut said this depends on the country they are in.
