waerth Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Quick roundup as to much has happened while I was sleeping: Seems to be the military is rounding everyone up that is in the McDonalds in Amarin Plaza since this morning (when I was sleeping). Everyone shouting or wearing a red shirt is taken in. Some scuffles and protesters throwing things at the military so far. Also arrests on the street in front of McD and at Rajprasong. The military is using a truck playing patriotic songs as bait. The protesters obviously pissed of hurl abuse at the truck and then the military go in and grab them. Military declared everybody detained will be released in 7 days, unless they get prosecuted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
