Thousands of Myanmar protestors gathered on Wednesday in front of the embassy and the United Nations offices in Bangkok to mark the second anniversary of the 2021 military coup in Myanmar.
Led by Myanmar pro-democracy activist group Bright Future, the protesters re-enacted how demonstrators in Myanmar had clashed with the junta in the aftermath of the coup in February 2021.
A military-backed security council is due to issue a statement on Wednesday that may decide whether to extend a state of emergency in Myanmar, ahead of a promised election this year that critics call a sham aimed at retaining power in the country.
According to the UN, some 1.2 million people have been displaced and over 70,000 have left the country which has accused the military of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
