The United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship will on Wednesday send teams to various parts of the capital city in a campaign to explain "the facts" of its activities to the public, UDD leader Nathawut Saikua said on Tuesday.

The teams would spread out from Ratchaprasong intersection on Wednesday morning.

 

"We will announce the routes tomorrow. The campaign will last three or four hours. We want Bangkok people understand the red shirts better, because the government has blocked our media outlets," Mr Nathawut said.

 

The mobile teams will adhere to peaceful means to get their message across, he said.

 

He said the UDD would also file a police complaint against the government and the Centre for the Resolution of Emergency Situations (CRES) for defamation for accusing its leaders of being terrorists and operating a movement to overthrow the monarchy.

 

"In saying that the UDD has increased the level of its activities to full-scale terrorism, do the government and the CRES mean to use this as an excuse to kill people in the heart of the city?" Mr Nathawut said.

 

The red-shirts would seek bail for the protesters arrested by the security forces in Ayutthaya and Pathum Thani on Monday, Mr Nathawut said.

Mr Nathawut said red-shirt operations in many parts of the country were successful, adding that they were able to stop more than 2,000 police and soldiers from entering Bangkok.

 

He claimed many provincial governors cooperated with the UDD because they knew it would be difficult for the government to survive and Abhisit Vejjajiva would lose the prime ministership in about one month, when the ruling Democrat Party will be dissolved by the court.

 

In defending the red shirts' operation to halt the BTS skytrain service on this morning, Mr Nathawut said they acted to defend themselves on learning that soldiers might be transported to the rally site on the train.

 

He said the red guards acted on their own by laying car tyres on the rail track on Monday night.

 

However, on learning of their action, the UDD leaders told the dumb fucks to remove the tyres from the track later today, Mr Nathawut said.

 

Meanwhile, Weng Tojirakarn, another UDD leader, said genuine UDD members must adhere to a six-point policy - to attain democracy under the monarchy, reinstate the 1997 constitution (with some "amendments"), and revoke all "dictatorial laws".

Lovely. Let's just throw more petrol on the fire. I hope they wait until after 8AM so I can get to where I need to be first, before they wreck traffic again.

exactly & greet them with the traditional fake smile to entice them up close for better effect (glass bottles right?)

[cavanami]

...a meet & greet?

Are they going to be on a tour bus? or waving from the back of a pickup truck

[WorldFun]

'suppose a bit of both with the odd motocy & tuktuk mixed in.

throwing (rotten) sticky rice & som tam at them will have better effect than rotten eggs/tomatos & then once they all out someone please block their way back into their camp (hopefully the last guy leaving wont lock it up?)...
