UDD to rally at Sanam Luang Saturday

 

United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) announced Friday it would hold a rally in Bangkok on Saturday evening after Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva announced the lifting of the emergency decree in the capital, group leader Somyos Pruksakasem said Friday.

 

Red-shirt rallies would be held in big provinces including Ayutthaya, Chiang Mai, Udon Thani and Nonthaburi afterwards, he said.

 

The group earlier called a rally at Samut Sakhon on Sunday, but Mr Somyos said that one is cancelled.

 

He also said that the group demanded that the government hand back the broadcast of DStation, which was closed down during the political turmoil.

The red-shirted people of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship will stage a rally on June 21-24 to commemorate June 24, 1932 - the day Thailand's administrative system changed from absolute monarchy to democracy, said UDD leader Somyos Prueksakasemsuk.

 

Mr Somyos said the rally was intended to recall the importance of June 24, which had been the national day until it was replaced with December 5 by the government of thelate Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat.

 

The June 21-24 rally is also an overture of a major "Truth Today" rally of the red shirts scheduled for Saturday, June 27, at Sanam Luang, he said.
