Three high-ranking police officers have been dismissed after the pro-democratic demonstrators marched to surround Government House on Wednesday.
The dismissal of Pol Maj-General Somprasong Yentuam, Pol Maj-General Prasai Jittasonthi and Pol Major Manop Sukhonthanapat was reportedly ordered by the Royal Thai Police Operations Centre on Thursday.
The centre said the order was given to Metropolitan Police Bureau chief Pol Lt-General Phukphong Phongpetra by the newly appointed National Police commander Pol General Suwat Jangyodsuk.
