The People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) planned to gather in front of Bangkok’s Central World Plaza on Monday at 10am to distribute VCDs and documents about the government’s crackdown against the protesters on October 7, which left over 400 injuries and two deaths.
PAD leader Somsak Kosaisuk said the gathering at Central World will also urge public members to join the anti-government group in toppling the present government.
He also called on the anti-government supporters in various provinces to join the mass demonstration in Bangkok, following the news that the government could disperse the protesters at Government House and Makkhawan Rangsan Bridge.
“The PAD is calling on its supporters outside Bangkok to join the protest in Bangkok on Monday as soon as possible because the government wants to reclaim Government House on Tuesday night,” Mr Somsak said.
The group marched through the commercial districts of Silom and Sathorn last Friday, giving out leaflets and VCDs to members of the public.
Meanwhile, the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), a pro-government group, will gather in front of the Royal Thai Police Headquarters on Monday and the parliament on Wednesday.
UDD core figure Somyos Phrueksakasemsuk said supporters of the UDD will definitely not confront with the PAD.
