Red-shirts to rally on Sunday | Bangkok Post: news

The Red Sunday group will hold a parade in Bangkok on Sunday, calling for the release of political prisoners detained for more than four months, core leader Sombat Boonngam-anong said on Wednesday.

Red-shirt supporters and core leaders of the United front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) have been held at various prisons in the capital and other provinces on charges including violating the emergency decree and inciting violence, since the government use troops to disperse protesters at Ratchaprasong intersection on May 19.

The red-shirts’ car and motorcycle procession will leave Ratchaprasong intersection about 1pm on Sunday, moving via Ratchadamri road to Rama IV road, where former army specialist Maj Gen Khattiya Sawasdipol (alias Seh Daeng) was assassinated, to Bon Kai, Din Daeng junction and then end at the Democracy Monument, Mr Sombat said.
