(AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit)Pro-democracy protesters in Thailand have rallied again, promoting a diverse range of causes and taking an opportunity to display their rejection of the country’s power structure directly to the monarch. Some 20 groups called the rally at Bangkok’s Democracy Monument under the name “Mob Fest” as the latest in a series of protests calling for significant reforms in government. They turned their backs, put their hands in the air to display their three-finger protest gesture and sang the national anthem. However, the general atmosphere at the rally was festive as a variety of groups, including secondary school pupils and feminists, promoted their causes.
