Anti-monarchy protests in Thailand: Calls for curbs on King's powers

Thousands of students in Thailand continued their protest against the government on Monday, with questions now being raised on monarchy's role too. &nbsp;

Nearly 3,000 to 4,000 demonstrators chanted "Long live democracy" at Thammasat University on outskirts of Bangkok, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, who came into power through a military coup in 2014.

However, now, students have started entering the dangerous territory, calling an end to the kingdom's draconian royal defamation law, an arbitrary rule that carries a sentence of up to 15 years per charge.

Experts say that the law is so vague that it makes any criticism to the royal family virtually impossible.&nbsp;

During Monday's protests, activists Anon Numpa and activist Panupong, who were arrested over the weekend and charged with sedition, gave speeches, in which Anon once again demanded a frank discussion on monarchy's role in Thailand.&nbsp;

Once again, there were anti-government songs and protesters gave a three-finger salute, a gesture for freedom seen in "The Hunger Games" trilogy, after Anon's speech. &nbsp;

Organisers said the next rally wil be held on Wednesday, which is a public holiday marking the birthday of Queen Mother.&nbsp;

Thai activist Pavin Chachavalpongpun, who is currently in exile in Japan, also gave a speech through video-conferencing at the end, where he encouraged students to speak openly.

Chachavalpongpun was granted asylum in Japan following his vocal criticism against the military rule in Thailand.&nbsp;
