Thai red-shirts begin procession around Bangkok
Published: 21/03/2010 05:00
Thailand’s anti-government red- shirts began their motorcade procession around Bangkok at about 9: 45 a.m. on Saturday, claiming they want to send smile, love . . .
Before they started, the co-leaders reminded the red-clad supporters that they should stick to “Three No” principles during the procession: No Anger, No Violence, No Reaction (to any provocation), in order to keep it a peaceful march throughout the capital city. Weng Tochirakarn, one of the red-shirts’ core leaders, insisted the march is aimed at sending three things to Bangkokians: smile, love and happiness. He also invited the public to participate the red-shirts movement. The motorcade procession by red-shirts took place as the anti- government movement, led by the United Front of Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), staged a massive rally in Bangkok since March 12, aiming to pressure the government to dissolve the parliament and to call a snap election. After the Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on March 15 rejected an 24-hour ultimatum issued by the red-shirts, demanding an House dissolution, the red-shirts poured altogether more than 300 liter blood in the front of the Government House, the Democrat Party headquarters and Abhisit’s house to mount pressure on the government. The blood came from a massive blood donation by red- shirts and their supporters. VietNamNet/Xinhuanet |
