BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai police said on Friday that two men would be charged with attempted violence against the queen, which carries a possible death sentence, after an incident in which her motorcade was heckled on Wednesday.
As Queen Suthida's convoy passed a group of protesters on Wednesday, video footage shows they gave the three-finger salutes of opposition to the establishment and shouted "our taxes", a reference to complaints about palace spending. Police pushed protesters away from the queen's car.
