LIVE Part 3: Protesters storm and dismantle barricades around Democracy Monument, "seizing" it back to the public. They are now preparing to march on Government House. #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ14ตุลา

facebook.com/KhaosodEnglish… Image
It's the first "mission accomplished" for the anti-government activists, who had pledged earlier to reopen the landmark to the public. City officials sealed off Democracy Monument in recent years, turning it into a private "garden." #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ14ตุลา Image
Democracy Monument was built in 1939 to celebrate the overthrow of absolute monarchy 7 years earlier. It's also the focal point of a student uprising that toppled the military dictatorship on Oct. 14, 1973. #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ14ตุลา Image
RIP the unofficial "Home and Garden Expo" that has drawn ridicule from pro-democracy activists for years. #Thailand #KE #ม็อบ14ตุลา
