Police clashed with anti-IMF protesters in central Bangkok on Thursday, leaving demonstrators injured as tensions flared outside the IMF–World Bank meetings. The violence broke out over banners on a pedestrian bridge. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Siam Boonsom denied ordering force, blaming police miscommunication. Yet no officers faced announced disciplinary action. Injured protesters were told to file complaints, while police negotiated an overnight protest area. No demonstrators were charged.

Bangkok’s Metropolitan Police Commissioner denied ordering violence against anti-IMF protesters on Thursday after clashes at Rama IV intersection left demonstrators injured. Police Lieutenant General Siam Boonsom blamed miscommunication for the confrontation near the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre.

The trouble began when protesters attempted to display banners from a pedestrian overpass. However, officers and demonstrators became involved in a physical struggle. In response, the commissioner invited injured protesters to file complaints against police. Meanwhile, negotiations secured an overnight demonstration area, with no criminal charges filed against participants.

The confrontation occurred on Thursday morning, October 15, during protests against the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank meetings. Demonstrators had assembled near Rama IV intersection, close to the conference venue.

Police and protesters clash over banners as Bangkok commissioner denies orders to use violence

Police were maintaining security around the gathering while managing access to surrounding roads. However, tensions developed when protesters prepared to hang banners from a pedestrian overpass. Officers intervened, and a physical struggle followed, leaving demonstrators injured.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Siam Boonsom subsequently visited the demonstration to supervise security arrangements and explain the confrontation. According to his account, protesters had become concerned after seeing police stationed on the pedestrian bridge. Officers therefore withdrew from the overpass to ease tensions.

However, some demonstrators then climbed onto the bridge to prepare their banners. The movements created confusion, followed by physical contact between officers and protesters.

Siam maintained that the confrontation resulted from miscommunication rather than instructions to suppress the demonstration. He insisted that senior police commanders had issued no orders to use force or violence.

Nevertheless, the incident had already resulted in injuries to protesters. The commissioner acknowledged that complaints could be filed if officers had acted excessively or broken the law. He also confirmed that police were coordinating with the National Human Rights Commission.

Police blame confusion on pedestrian bridge as injured demonstrators are told to file complaints

The police explanation centred on the sequence of events surrounding the attempted banner display. Initially, officers were positioned on the overpass as part of the security operation. Their presence caused concern among demonstrators, according to Siam.

Consequently, police withdrew from the bridge to reduce tensions. Yet protesters subsequently moved onto the same structure to prepare their banners. The commissioner said confusion developed during these movements, leading to the confrontation.

The resulting injuries raised questions about the conduct of officers involved in the struggle. However, Siam did not announce findings concerning individual police misconduct. Nor did he identify officers accused of using excessive force.

Instead, he told demonstrators they could report unlawful conduct immediately. Complaints could be submitted directly to police or referred to the National Human Rights Commission. The commission was already observing the demonstration and maintaining contact with officers.

Injured protesters offered complaint channels as police deploy medical teams and volunteers at rally

The commissioner specifically addressed incidents involving excessive police action resulting in injuries. Protesters who believed officers had broken the law could lodge formal complaints without delay. Furthermore, the National Human Rights Commission offered another channel for reporting the confrontation.

Siam confirmed that police had coordinated with its representatives during Thursday’s operation. Nevertheless, his statement did not establish how many demonstrators had been injured or the severity of their injuries.

Separately, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner arranged medical assistance for participants attending the demonstration. A team from the Police Hospital was brought to Rama IV intersection.

Volunteers also assisted protesters, many of whom were elderly. In addition, police supplied drinking water to those gathered near the conference venue. These measures accompanied the continuing security deployment following the morning confrontation.

The medical team formed part of the police arrangements for the public assembly. However, Siam did not specify whether protesters injured during the struggle required hospital treatment. Neither did his statement provide individual casualty details.

Instead, the commissioner concentrated on the police explanation and the procedures available for reporting misconduct. He reiterated that officers had received no orders to use violence against demonstrators.

Security around IMF and World Bank meetings comes under scrutiny after confrontation on overpass

The incident occurred during heightened security surrounding the IMF and World Bank meetings in Bangkok. Police were responsible for protecting the international gathering while managing demonstrations near the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre.

Consequently, officers were stationed around Rama IV intersection and surrounding access routes. The pedestrian overpass became a focal point when protesters attempted to display their banners. The subsequent confrontation brought officers and demonstrators into direct physical contact.

The police account described the confrontation as an unintended consequence of confusion on the bridge. Officers had initially occupied the overpass before withdrawing in response to protesters’ concerns.

Subsequently, demonstrators approached the banner position, creating further uncertainty over movements in the area. Siam said the resulting struggle had not been authorised by senior commanders. However, the explanation did not establish responsibility for the injuries sustained during the incident.

Notably, the commissioner distinguished between police orders and the conduct of individual officers. He maintained that no instruction to use violence had been issued.

Nevertheless, protesters could pursue complaints if they believed officers had exceeded their powers. Such complaints could concern excessive force, unlawful conduct or injuries resulting from police actions. The National Human Rights Commission remained available to receive complaints while observing developments at the protest site.

Police negotiate overnight protest area near Rama IV intersection while keeping conference roads clear

Meanwhile, police faced another immediate issue as demonstrators prepared to remain near Rama IV intersection overnight. Officers therefore negotiated arrangements with protest representatives.

The discussions produced an agreement identifying a designated gathering area. According to Siam, the location was intended to prevent disruption to surrounding traffic. It was also intended to maintain security measures connected with the international conference.

The commissioner confirmed that the overnight gathering area had been clearly defined following negotiations. Police sought to keep roads accessible while maintaining their security operation around the conference venue.

However, Siam did not announce a prohibition on the overnight demonstration. Instead, officers continued coordinating with protest representatives over the arrangements. The agreement followed the morning confrontation and formed part of efforts to manage the continuing assembly.

In parallel, police maintained their responsibilities for traffic control and conference security. The presence of demonstrators near Rama IV intersection required arrangements covering both activities. Consequently, officers negotiated a specific location where protesters could remain without obstructing surrounding roads.

Siam said the gathering area had been established through discussions with participants. The arrangements allowed the police operation to continue while demonstrators remained near the venue.

No charges filed against demonstrators as police decline to announce findings on officers’ conduct

Significantly, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner confirmed that no criminal charges had been filed against protesters at that stage. The announcement followed the physical confrontation involving officers and demonstrators earlier that morning.

However, police had not announced prosecutions arising from the incident. Nor had they reported criminal proceedings connected with the attempted banner display. Instead, officers continued managing the demonstration through negotiations and security arrangements.

The absence of charges against demonstrators did not resolve the circumstances surrounding the injuries. Siam maintained that protesters could immediately report police misconduct if they believed officers had acted unlawfully.

Furthermore, he specifically referred to complaints involving excessive force and injuries. The National Human Rights Commission was observing the gathering and coordinating with police. Nevertheless, the commissioner announced no findings concerning responsibility for the confrontation.

The police statement also contained no announcement of disciplinary proceedings against officers involved in the incident. Similarly, Siam did not identify any police personnel accused of misconduct.

His explanation concentrated on the movements of officers and protesters before the struggle. According to the commissioner, police withdrew from the overpass to ease concerns. However, confusion followed when demonstrators subsequently approached the banner position.

Bangkok police maintain conference security and medical support after clashes with anti-IMF protesters

The confrontation occurred as police maintained security around one of Bangkok’s major international financial gatherings. Demonstrators were protesting against the IMF and World Bank meetings near the conference venue.

Officers were simultaneously managing security, traffic and the public assembly. However, the dispute over the pedestrian overpass brought those responsibilities into direct conflict. The resulting injuries prompted the commissioner to address police conduct publicly.

As part of the continuing operation, Siam personally supervised arrangements at Rama IV intersection. He also brought medical personnel, volunteers and drinking water to assist demonstrators. Meanwhile, officers negotiated the overnight gathering area and coordinated with the National Human Rights Commission.

These measures followed the morning confrontation, although they did not alter the commissioner’s explanation. He maintained that the struggle resulted from miscommunication rather than orders to use violence.

The commissioner also made clear that protesters retained access to formal complaint procedures. Those alleging excessive police force could submit reports directly to police.

Alternatively, they could approach the National Human Rights Commission. The commission’s presence provided an additional channel for complaints concerning Thursday’s events. However, Siam did not confirm whether any formal complaints had already been lodged.

Injury figures and responsibility remain unresolved as police insist no orders for violence were issued

The police account therefore left several factual questions unresolved. It did not establish the precise number of injured protesters or describe their injuries. Neither did it identify individual officers responsible for any unlawful conduct. Moreover, no disciplinary action against police personnel was announced. The commissioner instead reiterated that allegations could be pursued through established complaint procedures.

By Thursday, police had confirmed that the confrontation followed confusion over movements on the pedestrian bridge. Siam denied that commanders had ordered officers to use violence.

Meanwhile, no criminal charges had been filed against demonstrators. Police had also negotiated arrangements for the overnight gathering, with traffic management and conference security remaining priorities.

The Metropolitan Police Bureau continued overseeing the demonstration near Rama IV intersection following the morning clashes. Officers remained responsible for securing the IMF and World Bank meetings while managing the public assembly.

In addition, medical personnel and volunteers were available to assist protesters. The National Human Rights Commission continued observing developments, while police maintained contact with its representatives.

Ultimately, Siam’s explanation placed the cause of Thursday’s confrontation on miscommunication between officers and demonstrators. However, it did not determine responsibility for the injuries sustained during the struggle. Protesters were invited to file complaints over excessive or unlawful police conduct. Meanwhile, the overnight demonstration arrangements remained in place, and no charges against participants had been announced.

周四，曼谷市中心爆发了反国际货币基金组织（IMF）示威者的冲突，冲突地点位于IMF-世界银行会议场外，导致多名示威者受伤。暴力事件起因于人行天桥上的横幅。曼谷警察局长暹罗·汶颂否认下令使用武力，并将责任归咎于警方沟通不畅。然而，目前尚无警员因任何原因受到纪律处分。受伤的示威者被告知可以提出投诉，而警方则在夜间与示威者协商清理抗议区域。没有示威者被起诉。

曼谷警察局长否认周四下令对反国际货币基金组织示威者使用暴力。此前，拉玛四路路口发生冲突，导致示威者受伤。警察中将暹罗汶颂将诗丽吉王后国家会议中心附近的冲突归咎于沟通不畅。

冲突起因是示威者试图在人行天桥上展示横幅。然而，警员与示威者发生肢体冲突。随后，警务处处长邀请受伤的示威者向警方提出投诉。与此同时，双方通过谈判确定了夜间示威区域，且未对参与者提出任何刑事指控。

冲突发生在10月15日星期四上午，当时正值抗议国际货币基金组织（IMF）和世界银行会议的示威活动期间。示威者聚集在靠近会议地点的拉玛四路交叉口附近。

曼谷警方与示威者因标语发生冲突，曼谷警察局长否认下令使用暴力。

警方在集会现场周围维持秩序，并管制周边道路的通行。然而，当示威者准备在人行天桥上悬挂横幅时，紧张局势升级。警方介入后，双方发生肢体冲突，导致示威者受伤。

随后，伦敦警察厅厅长暹罗·汶颂前往示威现场，视察安保措施并解释冲突经过。据他所述，示威者看到警察驻守在人行天桥后感到担忧。因此，警员撤离了天桥，以缓和紧张局势。

然而，一些示威者随后爬上桥面准备横幅。这些举动造成混乱，随后警员与示威者发生肢体冲突。

暹罗坚称，冲突源于沟通不畅，而非镇压示威的指令。他强调，高级警官并未下达任何使用武力或暴力的命令。

然而，事件已造成示威者受伤。警务专员承认，如果警员行为过激或违法，可以提出投诉。他还证实，警方正在与国家人权委员会协调处理此事。

警方将混乱归咎于人行天桥，并告知受伤的示威者提交投诉。

警方的解释主要围绕着试图展示横幅事件的经过展开。据暹罗报道，起初，警员们在立交桥上部署警力，执行安保行动。他们的出现引起了示威者的担忧。

因此，警方撤离了桥面以缓和紧张局势。然而，抗议者随后又转移到桥上准备悬挂标语。警务处长表示，双方行动过程中出现了混乱，最终导致了冲突。

此次事件造成的伤亡引发了人们对涉事警员行为的质疑。然而，西亚姆并未公布有关个别警员不当行为的调查结果，也没有指明被指控过度使用武力的警员姓名。

他告诉示威者，他们可以立即举报违法行为。投诉可以直接提交给警方，也可以提交给国家人权委员会。该委员会此前已在关注示威活动，并与警方保持联系。

警方在集会现场部署医疗队和志愿者，受伤的示威者被告知可以向警方投诉。

专员特别提及了警方过度执法导致人员受伤的事件。认为警员违法行为的抗议者可以立即提出正式投诉。此外，国家人权委员会也提供了举报冲突的渠道。

暹罗证实，警方在周四的行动中与其代表进行了协调。然而，他的声明并未说明有多少示威者受伤，也未说明伤势的严重程度。

此外，首都警察局长为参加示威活动的民众安排了医疗援助。警察医院的一个医疗队被派往拉玛四世路口。

志愿者也为抗议者提供帮助，其中许多是老年人。此外，警方还向聚集在会场附近的人们提供饮用水。这些措施与上午冲突后持续的安保部署相辅相成。

医疗队是警方为应对此次公众集会而采取的安保措施之一。然而，暹罗并未具体说明冲突中受伤的示威者是否需要住院治疗，他的声明也没有提供具体的伤亡情况。

相反，警务处长着重强调了警方的解释以及举报不当行为的程序。他重申，警员并未接到任何对示威者使用暴力的命令。

在立交桥上发生冲突后，国际货币基金组织和世界银行会议期间的安保措施受到密切关注。

事件发生在曼谷国际货币基金组织和世界银行会议期间，当时安保措施已全面加强。警方负责保护国际会议的安全，同时还要应对诗丽吉王后国家会议中心附近的示威活动。

因此，警方在拉玛四路交叉口及其周边道路上部署警力。当抗议者试图展示横幅时，人行天桥成为冲突焦点。随后的冲突导致警员与示威者发生肢体接触。

警方称，此次冲突是桥上混乱造成的意外后果。警员最初占领了高架桥，但随后因抗议者的诉求而撤离。

随后，示威者靠近横幅所在位置，进一步加剧了该地区局势的不稳定性。暹罗方面表示，由此引发的冲突并未得到高级指挥官的授权。然而，这一解释并未明确指出其对事件中造成的伤亡负有责任。

值得注意的是，警务专员区分了警方的命令和个别警员的行为。他坚称，警方并未下达任何使用暴力的指令。

然而，如果抗议者认为警员滥用职权，他们可以提出申诉。此类申诉可能涉及过度使用武力、非法行为或因警方行动造成的伤害。国家人权委员会将继续受理申诉，同时密切关注抗议现场的事态发展。

警方在拉玛四世路口附近与抗议人群进行夜间谈判，同时保持会议道路畅通。

与此同时，警方还面临着另一个迫在眉睫的问题：示威者准备在拉玛四路交叉口附近彻夜停留。因此，警方与示威代表进行了协商安排。

经协商达成协议，确定了指定的集会区域。暹罗公司表示，选择该地点旨在避免对周边交通造成干扰，同时也是为了保障与国际会议相关的安全措施。

专员确认，经协商已明确划定过夜聚集区域。警方在确保会议场地周边安全的同时，力求保持道路畅通。

然而，暹罗方面并未宣布禁止通宵示威活动。相反，官员们继续与抗议代表就相关安排进行协调。该协议是在上午的冲突之后达成的，也是管理持续集会措施的一部分。

与此同时，警方继续履行交通管制和会议安保职责。由于示威者聚集在拉玛四路交叉口附近，因此需要制定相应的安排来兼顾这两项工作。最终，警方与示威者协商确定了一个具体地点，既能让他们停留，又不会阻碍周边道路通行。

暹罗表示，集会区域是与参与者协商后确定的。这样的安排使得警方能够在示威者留在会场附近的情况下继续开展行动。

警方拒绝公布对警员行为的调查结果，示威者未被起诉。警方也拒绝公布对警员行为的调查结果。

值得注意的是，伦敦警察厅厅长证实，当时尚未对示威者提出任何刑事指控。此前，当天上午早些时候，警方与示威者发生肢体冲突。

然而，警方并未宣布就此事件提起诉讼，也未报告与试图展示横幅有关的刑事诉讼程序。相反，警方继续通过谈判和安保措施来控制示威活动。

示威者未被起诉并未解决伤者受伤的事件。暹罗方面坚持认为，如果示威者认为警员行为违法，可以立即举报。

此外，他还特别提到了有关过度使用武力和造成人员受伤的投诉。国家人权委员会一直在观察集会情况并与警方协调。然而，该委员会并未就冲突的责任归属公布任何调查结果。

警方声明中也未提及将对涉事警员采取纪律处分。同样，暹罗通讯社也未指明任何被指控行为不当的警员。

他的解释主要集中在冲突发生前警员和示威者的行动上。据警务处长称，警方撤离高架桥是为了缓解公众担忧。然而，当示威者随后接近横幅所在位置时，现场一片混乱。

在与反国际货币基金组织抗议者发生冲突后，曼谷警方维持了会议的安保和医疗保障。

冲突发生在警方在曼谷一场重要的国际金融会议周边维持秩序期间。示威者在会议场地附近抗议国际货币基金组织和世界银行的会议。

警员们同时负责安保、交通和公众集会秩序。然而，人行天桥纠纷导致这些职责直接冲突。由此造成的伤亡促使警务处处长公开谈论警方的行为。

作为持续行动的一部分，暹罗亲自监督了拉玛四路交叉口的各项安排。他还带来了医务人员、志愿者和饮用水，以帮助示威者。与此同时，执法人员就夜间集会区域进行协商，并与国家人权委员会协调。

这些措施是在上午的冲突之后采取的，但并未改变专员的解释。他坚持认为，冲突是由于沟通不畅造成的，而非接到使用暴力的命令。

专员还明确表示，抗议者仍然可以诉诸正式投诉程序。任何声称警方过度使用武力的人都可以直接向警方提交报告。

此外，他们还可以向国家人权委员会投诉。该委员会的设立为投诉周四事件提供了另一条渠道。然而，暹罗方面并未证实是否已收到任何正式投诉。

伤亡人数和责任归属仍未确定，警方坚称没有下达任何暴力指令。

因此，警方的说法留下了几个未解的事实疑问。它既没有确定受伤示威者的确切人数，也没有描述他们的伤情。此外，它也没有指明任何涉嫌违法行为的警员。而且，警方也没有宣布对任何警员采取纪律处分。警务处长只是重申，可以通过既定的投诉程序提出指控。

截至周四，警方已证实冲突起因于人行天桥上的行动混乱。暹罗否认指挥官曾下令警员使用暴力。

与此同时，警方并未对示威者提出任何刑事指控。警方还就通宵集会的安排进行了协商，交通管理和会议安保仍是首要任务。

在上午的冲突之后，首都警察局继续在拉玛四路交叉口附近维持秩序，监控示威活动。警员们在保障国际货币基金组织和世界银行会议安全的同时，也负责管理公众集会。

此外，现场还有医务人员和志愿者为示威者提供帮助。国家人权委员会继续关注事态发展，警方也与其代表保持联系。

最终，暹罗警方将周四冲突的起因归咎于警员与示威者之间的沟通不畅。然而，警方并未就冲突中造成的伤亡责任做出裁决。警方鼓励示威者就过度或非法行为提出投诉。与此同时，通宵示威活动的安排仍然有效，且尚未宣布对参与者提出任何指控。

曼谷警察局长表示，曼谷已做好迎接世界银行和国际货币基金组织会议的准备，预计将有超过18000名代表到访。
