Red Shirt Marchers Enter Forbidden Zones
Thousands of Thai red-shirt marchers moved into no-go zones proclaimed by the government on Tuesday afternoon, reversing an earlier pronouncement to stay away from the areas to avoid possible clashes with security forces
A red fleet made up of motorcycles and trucks moved into Silom and Sathon roads in insubordination to the government ban.
“From now we will be taking the offensive,” red-shirt leader Natthawut Saikua told the crowd. “Let our people from Pan Fa Bridge march to all 11 banned 11 roads immediately. If there is anything blocking us, break in peacefully.”
The procession was led by another core leader Suporn Attawong.
The activists took about 20 minutes to travel from Henry Dunant junction to Sala Daeng before reaching Silom.
The demonstration in Bangkok’s financial district began about two hours after Col Sansern Kaewkamnerd, spokesperson of the Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) pronounced on television that authorities would not use force to scatter protesters from the Ratchaprasong area.
