THAILAND’s prime minister called for unity and urged the country to “say no to the politics of hate” in a televised address, following weeks of anti-government protests that have grown bolder in targeting Thai power.

The country has seen near-daily demonstrations by pro-democracy student-led groups demanding an overhaul of Prayut Chan-o-cha’s administration and a rewrite of a 2017 military-scripted constitution.
