Demonstrations have continued in Thailand, with protests easily gaining 100,000 people in attendance against the monarchy and the right-wing military dictatorship. Police have failed to crack down on the protests, and have failed to attempt to suppress the October 17th and 18th marches due to the sheer size that they have.
Dozens of students in Ioannina marched against police repression seen at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, demanding the repeal of a law put forward by Minister of Education Niki Kerameos which allowed police to return to universities for the first time since 1975.
Chilean medical workers in Santiago marched through the Alameda, many from the Barros Luco Hospital on strike, demanding a better budget for the health sector and raises for those at the frontlines fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dozens of protesters in Valparaiso gathered for a demonstration demanding justice for Francisco Martinez, a Panguipulli street juggler murdered by police. Chilean law enforcement, known as Carabineros, cracked down on the protest, using chemical weapons including tear gas and water cannons.
