Reds to ask for help from HM the King
Jatuporn Prompan, a core leader of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship, said at the Ratchaprasong intersection rally site that the UDD plans to ask for help from His Majesty the King, reports said.
He said that the red shirts will continue rallying against the government even if the Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation (CRES) declares a curfew.
“It’s time to ask for help from the beloved father of the nation in the same way as happened in May, 1982, when the King stepped in to stop the bloodshed”, Mr Jatuporn stated.
He condemned the government for ordering the killing of unarmed red shirt protesters.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva had early Sunday morning said the government might instate a curfew to avoid further casualties.
