Mentors Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Red shirts in simultaneous provincial protests Thousands of anti-government Democratic Alliance Against Dictatorship (DAAD) protesters staged a protest at Provincial Hall of at least 12 provinces around the Kingdom Monday after police threatened to disperse the demonstrators in Bangkok early yesterday (Monday) morning. This led to the announcement by the police that there will be no violent dispersal of protesters surrounding the Government House in Bangkok. Provinces affected include Lop Buri, Udon Thani, Suphan Buri, Ubon Ratchathani, Chanta Buri, Chiang Rai, Kalasin, Chon Buri, Anthong, Nakhon Sawan and more. The show of force came after an early morning announcement and distribution of leaflets saying that the blocking of the Government House is not legal and not peaceful and that protesters would be dispersed as they're breaking the law. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2009/03/30/politics/politics_30099208.php as next the people could protest against the colorful protesters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Mentors, Its quite ironic that all your political post tend to follow the similar vain, not so much a reflection on your own political believes but more so on how much your wife / partner has you wrapped around her little finger and you buy into the bullshit. Without wanting to be derogitory I would say not only is it a sad reflection on your weekness of being pussy whipped but also a reflection of the social-ecconomic background of the Thais that you associate with.

Mentors Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Pro-Thaksin rallies grow Rallies supporting former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra were held in more than 10 provinces on Monday, ratcheting up pressure on the government to resign. The government paid little heed to the demonstrations to avoid any confrontation with the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship, which has surrounded Government House since Thursday. To further defuse tensions, it decided to cancel today's cabinet meeting, saying there were no urgent issues on the agenda. Prime Minster Abhisit Vejjajiva consulted with Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban on what was happening with the Government House rally before deciding to cancel the cabinet meeting, a cabinet source said. Mr Suthep, who is in charge of security affairs, told the Bangkok Post the government would not use violent measures to crack down on the protesters. "The intention of the red-shirt rally is clear. It is trying to provoke violence. But the government will not fall into this trap. We will be patient," he said. Peaceful demonstrations to show support for Thaksin took place mostly in northern and northeastern provinces where the convicted former prime minister remains popular. They included Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang, Nan, Phayao, Kanchanaburi, Ayutthaya, Udon Thani, Nakhon Ratchasima, Ubon Ratchathani and Khon Kaen. The red-shirt protesters rallied at provincial halls, with some deciding to camp out for the night. The demonstrators in Bangkok remained at their site outside Government House. Stages were erected outside provincial halls with broadcasts of the rally in Bangkok being relayed to the protesters. They said they were waiting for a signal from UDD leaders in Bangkok to travel to the capital to join the rally at Government House. They pledged to join their colleagues in Bangkok if the government moved to break up the rally at the prime minister's office. The demonstrations in the other provinces were organised after Thaksin on Saturday urged his supporters across the country to stand up and show their strength, while making clear their opposition to non-politicians being involved in politics. "We will keep fighting until we get democracy back," Thaksin said in a video broadcast from an unknown location to the rallies last night. "This government was installed by a silent coup. It is not a democratic government. The coup was staged by the Constitution Court, the military and the Privy Council president," he said, referring to Gen Prem Tinsulanonda. http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/14254/pro-thaksin-rallies-grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
