Anti-government protesters in Thailand tussle with police

Anti-government protesters tussled with police in the Thai capital on Friday as 15 leaders of their movement turned themselves in at a police station to answer a summons linked to a demonstration last month. The protesters are part of a student-led pro-democracy movement demanding new elections, amendment of the constitution and an end to intimidation of government critics. The economy has struggled to compete with its neighbors even before the damage inflicted by measures to counter the coronavirus pandemic, which include shutting down Thailand to foreign tourists.
