Flashermac Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Meanwhile, back at the topic ... Suthep leads march in defiance of state of emergency Protest supreme leader Suthep Thaugsuban Thursday led thousands of protesters on a march from the Asoke rally site to defy the state of emergency. It was the first march led by Suthep, the secretary general of the People's Democratic Reform Committee, since the state of emergency took effect on Wednesday. Protesters at the Asoke rally site formed the procession at 10am. They headed from the Asoke intersection to the Chidlom intersection then turned left into Langsuan Road. They plan to walk to Sarasin Road and turn left for Wireless Road before turning right into Ploenchit Road and marching back to the Asoke intersection. Security guards formed a three-layer human shield to protect Suthep. Suthep allowed key PDRC leaders to walk with him in the innermost circle, among them Natthapol Tipasuwan and Sakolthi Phatthiyakul who are in charge of the Asoke rally site. Suthep greeted the people along the way and many lined the roads to hand cash to him. Before the march, Suthep told foreign reporters that the situation did not warrant a state of emergency yet. Suthep expressed concern that if and when the government was cornered, it would resort to violence against the protesters and added that the government could not enforce the Internal Security Act. He also said the opposite side was continuously making plans to harm the demonstrators. http://www.nationmul...n-30224977.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Group warns US against simplistic view of Thai conflict A network of medical volunteers has cautioned the US ambassador to Bangkok against a simplistic portrayal of Thailand's ongoing political conflict as an ideological clash between pro-democracy and anti-democracy groups. In its letter to the ambassador, the Network of Medical Volunteers for National Reform in Thailand dismissed any suggestion that protesters and protest leaders are trying to change the country's democratic system into a non-democratic one. "They are calling for a strengthening of the democratic system, which, among other things, seeks to give tougher safeguards against corruption and abuse of power by elected officials," the group said in the letter. The letter mentions the name of US Congressman Michael Turner, who recently urged US President Barack Obama to voice support for the democratic process in Thailand, which he insinuated was being threatened. "We wish to caution you against Congressman Turner's simplistic portrayal of the political conflict in Thailand," the letter said. The network has pointed its finger at the Yingluck Shinawatra-led caretaker government, saying her administration's attempt to whitewash past corruption-related crimes through the pushing of the anti-Amnesty Bill, and efforts to systematically weaken the checks-and-balances system among the legislative, executive and judicial branches, have dismayed the public. http://www.nationmul...n-30224986.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Crowds offer warm welcome for PDRC leader The 11th day of Shutdown Bangkok protest march by the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) leader Suthep Thaugsuban received a warm welcome from tens of thousands of Bangkok people and foreigners alike when he marched along Asoke to Wireless roads to persuade the people to join the protest forcing the resignation caretaker prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra. Along one of the capital’s busiest commercial and financial area, thousands of supporters, both locals and foreigners, and a young generation of university and pre-university students, as well as aged people, were anxious to have a close contact offering handshakes, donations, and asking for either group and personal photographing with the protest leader. They had waited several hours to have a time to speak and cheer the protest leader when he walks past. Noisy sound of whistle blowing, loud but joyous cheers of “Kaman Soo Soo†and hand clapping became daily phenomenon when he walked from one side of the road to another to shake hand, receive cash donations, and to have photos with supporters. His security guards worked very hard to give protection as there is rumor that a government hunting team is closing in on and will get him as the election drawing close. His march starting since 9.30 a.m. on the road of a distance of just slightly over a kilometer long took him almost two hours and by noon was at Ploenchit. Suthep vowed last night to bring the protest to the end before January 26, the day when the advance election takes place. He also said the state of emergency declared by the caretaker government was illegitimate, adding that protesters would defy any order to be issued under this unlawful declaration. http://englishnews.t...me-pdrc-leader/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
