Frequent attacks prompt tightened security at protest site

 

 

An anti-government protest leader on Tuesday ordered a tightening of security following a series of attacks near protest sites with the latest explosion at Lumpini Park wounding three volunteer guards, one seriously.

 

The move came shortly after a blast took place just 500 metres from Lumpini Park, the main protest site, early Tuesday morning.

 

A 32-year-old man, identified as Ullmani Sewon, who is also a volunteer guard in the rally medical team, was seriously wounded and sent to nearby Chulalongkorn Hospital. He is now in stable condition in the Intensive Care Unit. Two other volunteer guards were slightly wounded.

 

Thaworn Senneam, a key leader of the anti-government People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), said the daily attacks had nothing to do with the anti-government protesters but the caretaker government must be held accountable for the violence as it is enforcing the special security law.
