Protesters began marching to the German embassy on Monday evening, to ask Berlin to look into the matter of His Majesty the King living in Germany.

The pro-democracy movement gathered at Samyan intersection about 5pm and started marching on Rama IV Road to the embassy on Sathorn Road.

They said earlier that they would petition the German government through the embassy to look into whether the King had violated German sovereignty by exercising his power on German soil.

The German embassy on Monday released a statement written on Sunday stressing the need for a peaceful gathering by the protesters and protection of its premises by the government.



The embassy said it would be ready to receive the petition and send it to Berlin on condition it was given in a "peaceful manner".


A rally outside the embassy in support of the monarchy earlier on Monday had already dispersed after presenting a letter addressed to the ambassador.
