The Royal Thai Police (RTP) will launch an investigation into the assault of two journalists injured in the clash between riot police and anti-government protesters during the Apec Summit last week, said national police chief Damrongsak Kittiprapas.

The journalists, who are employed by Reuters and The Matter, were injured while following anti-government protesters taking part in the "Citizens Stop Apec 2022" protest as they moved from the designated protest site at Lan Khon Muang, in front of City Hall, to the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, where the gathering was held on Friday and Saturday.
