Red shirts may turn suicide bombers, leader warns

A red-shirt leader warned Thursday certain red-shirt people may turn suicide bombers to avenge the government crackdowns and fight for democracy.

The warning was made by Somyos Prueksakasemsuk, a leader of the June 24 Group, during a seminar at the Royal Hotel to mark the October 14 student uprising. The seminar was titled “October 14: People’s War”.

Somyos said a lot of red-shirt people harboured grudge against the government following the crackdown at the Rajprasong rally.

“I heard that the red-shirt people hate the government so much that they will sacrifice their life for democracy,” Somyos said.
