Thai Red-shirt activists will congregate outside a military garrison on Monday to demand the government’s reply on their demands that the government disband the House by noon or face mass protests in the capital.
United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) co-leader Natthawut Saikua said on Sunday evening that the demonstrators will go to the 11th Infantry Regiment, where the government’s peacekeeping action authority is situated, at 9am. They will stay there awaiting midday.
Mr Natthawut said the UDD would boost its activities if the government falls short in meetings their demands.
He asserted that as many as 300,000 activists have joined the protest at the key gathering site around Phan Fa Bridge on Sunday. The Interior Ministry placed its approximation of the number of protesters at 46,377 at the Sunday gathering.
The turnout was far less than the “million man march” forecast by the UDD organizers.
At noon on Sunday, UDD leader Veera Musikhapong announced a 24 hour challenge to the government from the central stage at Phan Fa bridge.
The declaration, read by Mr Veera, said that since the Sept 19, 2006 coup that toppled the administration of Thaksin Shinawatra, the nation had been just a dictatorship.
