Protesters to demand answer at noon
Red-shirt protesters will gather outside a military barracks on Monday to demand the government’s answer on their ultimatum that the government dissolve the House by noon or face mass demonstrations in the capital.
United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) co-leader Natthawut Saikua said on Sunday evening that the protesters will go to the 11th Infantry Regiment, where the government’s peacekeeping operation command is situated, at 9am. They will stay there until midday.
Mr Natthawut said the UDD would increase its activities if the government fails to meet the demand.
He claimed that as many as 300,000 protesters have joined the protest at the main rally site around Phan Fa bridge on Sunday. The Interior Ministry estimated the number of protesters at 46,377 at the Sunday rally.
