Red Shirts warned against getting near rally site

BANGKOK, Nov 16 – Pro-government leaders announced today that Red Shirt activists will not stage any gathering during an anti-government rally organized by the Pitak Siam group on Nov 24.

Thida Thavornseth, leader of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), said the Pitak Siam movement is not strong enough to topple the government, but the situation would worsen if Red Shirt activists moved to confront Pitak Siam.

Red Shirt supporters who contemplate any movement must consult three core leaders, she said. In addition to Mrs Thida, Jatuporn Prompan and Nattawut Saikua are two other top leaders.

She called on Red Shirts to refrain from any movement or confrontation which will endanger the government’s stability.

Mr Jatuporn said he received a report that anti-government activists will mass produce 5,000 red shirts so that some of the demonstrators will disguise as red shirts and mingle with the crowd.

This alleged action is intended to create misunderstanding and unrest which will lead to confrontation with police, he said, discouraging Red Shirt activists from travelling to areas near parliament, the Royal Plaza and Government House. (MCOT online news)
