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.
Over 100 protesters in Heraklion marched in solidarity with the Koufontinas hunger strike, demanding the immediate government satisfaction of the former 17 November member’s request to be returned to the Korydallos prison in Athens.
Upon the government of Norway planning a series of deportations of youth who have grown up in the country, a group of leftists occupied Håkonsgate 12 in Oslo and adorned the walls with banners of protest against the plans. Many condemned the fact that the state had been carrying out practices forcing queer people to prove their sexual orientation, which could prove to be extremely invasive.
Protesters and antifascists commemorated Annibal Villaroel at his funeral, a young man murdered by police forces in Chile on the 18th of October. Hundreds of anarchists and other socialists attended his funeral in Santiago, chanting insults against the police.
Hundreds of protesters gathered in Plaza Dignidad for a national mobilization demanding the release of political prisoners. Intense clashes occurred with police, who were repulsed from the area several times by angry crowds while trying to disperse the protesters, who finally left after nightfall arrived.
