Rally at Pathumwan blasts Constitutional Court, calls for monarchy reformProtesters take part in a demonstration at Pathumwan intersection on Sunday, after the Constitutional Curt ruled that speeches by protest leaders calling for royal reforms amounted to a bid to overthrow the monarchy. (AFP photo)Protesters occupied Pathumwan intersection in Bangkok on Sunday to vent their anger at the recent Constitutional Court ruling and demand reform of the highest institution. No particular groups claimed to have organised the rally, the first major protest since the court's ruling on Wednesday. The court ruled the demands made by Arnon Nampa, Panupong "Mike" Jadnok and Panusaya "Rung" Sithijirawattanakul, together with subsequent actions by them and other protesters, were aimed at bringing down the constitutional monarchy. Citing the ruling and the order, protesters accused the court of attempting to bring back absolute monarchy.
