Mok-yeon, anti-government protesters in Thailand called for greater democracy,... while fighting a water cannon and a police blockade.
On Sunday, protesters marched towards the royal palace in Bangkok,... to deliver letters requesting the reform of the country’s powerful monarchy.
It was the second time the police used water cannons to suppress the largely peaceful protests,... which have been ongoing for nearly four months.
"It's not right to use water cannon with protesters who have a different stand and political views."
The Royal Palace did not make any comment.
But a week ago, the king said the protesters were still loved,...and that Thailand was a land of compromise.
Since July, anti-government protesters have been demanding constitutional and monarchy reform,... along with resignation of prime minister.
