Red Shirts Rally at Military Camps
Red-shirted Supporters of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) gathered at the entrances to military sites nationwide on Thursday in a show of resistance to another coup d’etat.
About 100 red-shirts led by Weng Tochirakarn assembled in front of the 4th Cavalry Division in Bangkok. They handed out poppy flowers to soldiers, read an anti-coup statement and then disbanded.
Charan Ditthaphichai led the red-shirts to assemble in front of the 11th Infantry Regiment on Phahon Yothin road in Bangkok. He read the same declaration and said the red-shirts were the friends of soldiers who hold up democracy but they were opposed to the few of them who prop up dictatorship and had charted another military coup.
Red-shirts led by Chatri Chuenchom also rallied at the 1st Infantry Regiment on Bangkok’s Vibhavadi Rangsit road asking the soldiers to oppose a armed coup and help protect democracy.
UDD core organizer Veera Musikhapong read out the anti-coup announcement in his television program on the red-shirt’s People’s Channel early in the morning. The statement asked soldiers who care for democracy to join forces with the protesters and to refuse their superior’s orders if they are illegal.
