Pro-democracy students raise a three-finger salute during a protest at Thammasat University in Bangkok yesterday.

About 3,000 to 4,000 protesters chanted “Long live democracy” at Thammasat University on the outskirts of Bangkok on Monday night, with speeches calling for the resignation of Prayuth, who first took power in a 2014 coup, and an end to military domination of politics. Thailand has strict laws against insulting or defaming the king, punishable by up to 15 years in prison.Former army chief Prayuth told reporters he had watched the protests.“I am concerned,” he said, but did not elaborate on what concerned him and did not comment on the demands for royal reform.
