| 2011-02-12 |
| [Straits Times] THE Red Shirts will hold their next rally on Sunday and keep protesting every month until their seven jugged leaders are released, Pheu Thai MP Jatuporn Promphan said on Thursday. Sunday's rally is scheduled to begin at the Criminal Court on Ratchadaphisek Road in the afternoon before marching to Democracy Monument on Rajdamnoen Avenue. 'The rally at the court is to highlight the grievances of the seven leaders held in remand,' Mr Jatuporn said. Organisers will read letters from the seven leaders. Protesters have been advised not to display any banners deemed in contempt of the court, he said. The rally at Democracy Monument will last until midnight. Ex-prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his lawyer Robert Amsterdam have scheduled a phone-in to greet the protesters. |
