[UPDATE] After anti-coup protesters pressured military officers and tried to negotiate for the release of a male protester wearing a white T-shirt, the military released the man around 7 p.m. on Saturday. The man was detained for about 15 minutes. 

Hundreds of anti-coup protesters gathered at Victory Monument in Bangkok on Saturday around 5 p.m. to show their opposition to the military takeover of the Thai government. There were reports of brief confrontations between the protesters and the military, but no confirmed casualties. 

 

Some protesters walked from the Major Cineplex movie theatre on Phahonyothin Road, where protests had taken place at 11 a.m., to join others at Victory Monument.
