Thailand: PAD defies police order to clear out of roads
The yellow shirts yesterday resisted a police order for them to vacate public roads around Government House where they have camped out for weeks.
The People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) yesterday said the order No 2 of the Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) was unconstitutional as it had been issued with the intent to block a peaceful demonstration.
The police were acting under CAPO, which was formed after the Internal Security Act was imposed last week in seven Bangkok districts, covering locations with political significance such as Government House, Parliament, and the Democracy Monument.
