P-Move Demands Investigation Following Clash at Ministry of Interior
The P-Move activist group has called for a government inquiry after a confrontation between protesters and territorial defense volunteers resulted in three injuries.
According to a report by Thai Post on August 7, 2026, the activist group 'P-Move' has formally requested that the Prime Minister investigate a physical confrontation that occurred at the Ministry of Interior. The incident reportedly resulted in injuries to three protesters.
Representatives from P-Move stated that the group attempted to move closer to the ministry building to seek shelter from rainfall. They allege that territorial defense volunteers (Or Sor) blocked the entrance and engaged in verbal provocation, including the use of derogatory language toward the demonstrators. The group claims these actions escalated the situation, leading to the clash.
For residents and travelers, this incident highlights the potential for localized civil unrest or demonstrations near government facilities in Bangkok. While such protests are often contained, they can lead to temporary traffic disruptions or increased security presence in the vicinity of major ministries.
At this time, the official response from the Prime Minister’s office remains pending. Furthermore, the specific details regarding the extent of the injuries sustained by the three individuals and the official account from the Ministry of Interior regarding the conduct of the territorial defense volunteers have yet to be independently verified or fully addressed by authorities.
