<p>Political activists tied a black shroud around the Democracy Monument in commemoration of the 59th anniversary of the execution of anti-dictatorship figure Khrong Chandawong on the orders of the dictator Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat. They also raised banners with Khrong&rsquo;s famous last words &ldquo;Dictatorship shall fall, democracy shall prosper&rdquo;.</p>

<p>On the 58th anniversary of the execution of Khrong Chandawong by Sarit Thanarat under Section 17 of the constitution of the time, the quote &ldquo;Dictatorship shall fall, democracy shall prosper&rdquo; still hasn&rsquo;t died away and is still used to fight against Gen Prayut&rsquo;s junta; many still use this quote to protest, and have been prosecuted.&nbsp;</p>
