Thai Police Shows Three-finger Salute to Civilians in Support of Freedom and Democracy
Pro-democracy protests in Thailand have entered the fifth day on October 18, 2020. Many scenes in Thailand recalled the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong: the supply chain formed by the gathering public; rallies that were initiated by the public and took place in different areas; the public which took turn to speak up for the leaderless movement; and the 'red sea' moment when protesters gave way to ambulances.
According to the report by The Matter (twitter@thematterco), the public rallying at Victory Monument in Bangkok chanted "Hong Kong is a country! Return independence to Hong Kong!". It was reported that on Oct 18, 2020, over 10,000 civilians protested in the area.
Moreover, AFP journalist Mladen Antov captured a Thai police showing the pro-democracy three-figure salute to the protesters. The photo has gone viral on the Internet. Many contrasted it with a photo of the Hong Kong police but showing the middle finger to the pro-democracy protesters during the 2019 Anti-Extradition Law Movement in Hong Kong.
According to Thai Enquirer, a former police officer told the public he resigned as he did not want to cause harm to any civilian. He also reminded his former colleagues that the duty of the police is to serve the public.
In Chiang Mai, university students held rally and expressed that in case the students in Bangkok cannot hold out, they would continue the fight.
Netizens initiated rallies in over 20 locations including Pathumtani and Nonthabur outside of the capital.

Hundreds line up at Hong Kong History Museum to witness the last day of "Hong Kong Story" Exhibition
Hundreds of citizens lined up to visit the “Hong Kong Story” exhibit of the Hong Kong History Museum to witness its last day before closing for renovations.
Mr. Chan, a citizen in his 60s, said people should “visit when there is still a chance”. He suspected the purpose of the renovation is to remove historical facts to fit Beijing's "political correctness" and add sections to glorify China.
“If it wasn’t the social movement last year, I wouldn't have realized how much I love Hong Kong”, Chan said, “Looking back at the old times, Hong Kong was so beautiful. There were hard times, but at least the government treated us better.”

Hongkongers have worry over the Authorities' Censorship of Local History By Renovating the History Museum
On the last day of the "Hong Kong Story" exhibition, visitors used creative way to voice out their pro-democracy demands in the Hong Kong Museum of History.
Memo and stickers which wrote “#SAVE12HKYOUTHS” and “Liberate Hong Kong, the revolution of our times” were found on the panels about the Sino-British Joint Declaration.
Mr. Cheung, a visitor wearing a T-shirt with the British Hong Kong flag and slogan “I AM HONG KONGER”, said that the social movement last year motivated citizens to find out more about Hong Kong’s history. He worried that the renovation will whitewash the local's past, “just like what they [the authorities] did to the Triad Attack in Yuen Long July 21, 2019”.

Inspire and affecting more places and struggles in a wider variety of setting than any past Chinese protest wave.
