One person was reportedly injured during protests against the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2022 summit in Thailand on Thursday.

A member of anti-government group Thalufah was allegedly hurt during a clash with police at Bangkok's Democracy Monument on November 17.

Footage shows officers in riot gear seizing the group's banners and equipment.

In a joint statement, the anti-government groups Thalufah and Ratsadon said they will be staging rallies denouncing the APEC summit.

They said: 'This summit has only government authorities and representatives from big-name capitalists that monopolize the industries.

'The APEC agreement would bind Thailand to pressure from other countries to implement policies that only benefit venture capitalists, while the public cannot access these benefits at all.'

The groups have secured a permit to hold protests at Lan Khon Muang, but were barred from gathering at the summit venue or the APEC delegates' hotels.

Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt has asked the rallyists to refrain from disrupting the convention.

Thailand will be hosting the APEC summit this year, with world leaders gathering at Bangkok's Queen Sirikit National Convention Center between November 18 to 19.
