Although the government is confident that its move to grant bail to seven red-shirt leaders will alleviate the political tension, merchants fear that it will bring about additional unrest.

Merchants around the Ratchaprasong and the Victory Monument areas in Bangkok expressed their opposition to the court’s decision to grant bail to the seven leaders of the red-shirt Democractic Alliance Against Dictatorship.

The merchants believe the leaders will incite more chaos like the ones that had crippled their businesses last year.
