Flashermac Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 The farm protesters are marching tomorrow. Suthep also said he will lead protesters to keep Yingluck from entering Government House. Looks like a good day to sleep late and stay home. . Michael Yon Caution: Tomorrow may be Dangerous in limited places I just met with the key leader of Isaan farmers. He remains peaceful but he made clear that they have reached the end of the peaceful road. He said that if the government does not deliver the money tomorrow morning, or if Yingluck does not come out and personally make a promise, it's game on. The leader said they will give the government one hour Monday morning to meet demands. If the demands are not met, he said to expect action and they have only one goal: No Yingluck. The farmers are ready to use force. The leader asked that Bangkokians who have family who are farmers, to please come out to help. He said that farmers are being blocked in the provinces to prevent them from coming to Bangkok. The leader said they will be at the Ministry of Commerce. Another group will begin at Chaeng Watthana and head to the Ministry of Defense. (More as I learn.) He said the leaders will go underground tonight because the government will shoot the leaders. https://www.facebook...151970919350665 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Suthep vows to shut PM out of Govt House, taunts Chalerm Anti-government protest chief Suthep Thaugsuban vowed tonight to block Government House on Monday morning to prevent caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra from entering the compound. The People’s Democratic Reform Committee leader also dared caretaker Labour Minister and anti-protest operations chief Chalerm Yoobamrung to appear at the compound on Monday morning. He said the protesters would begin their march to surround it at 7.30am and told Chalerm to be there by 8.30am. Suthep said Chalerm would be denounced as a coward if he fails to show up at the Government House and he should also disband the anti-protest centre. Suthep also said that Bt25 million donated by the protesters to help indebted farmers would be used to cover court fees for farmers filing civil lawsuits against Yingluck and responsible ministers for failing to pay them for rice pledged under the government's subsidy scheme. At a ceremony on Tuesday to be held at a yet-to-be announced time at the Pathumwan rally stage, the money will be handed to the Lawyers' Council of Thailand under His Majesty's Patronage, which will handle the cases for free. It will be divided into 125 parts, each of which will be no bigger than Bt200,000, for use with 125 individual lawsuits. The remaining Bt1.2 million, plus another Bt1 million to be collected in future donations, will be given to 11 families of farmers who committed suicide due to stress over non-payment of debts after the caretaker government failed to pay them. Each of the 11 families will be given Bt200,000 at handover ceremonies on the Pathumwan stage. Suthep condemned an M-79 grenade attack on the Criminal Courthouse on Friday night, as well as a shooting at the home of Anti-Corruption Organisation of Thailand chairman Pramont Sutheewong, also on Friday night. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/politics/Suthep-vows-to-shut-PM-out-of-Govt-House-taunts-Ch-30226987.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
