Yongyuth warns people against blocking roads

Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Yongyuth Wichaidit Monday warned the people against blocking roads to highlight their grievances, saying the government would no longer tolerate with such practices.

Yongyuth said the people could submit their complaints to the government about their grievances but they had to avoid violating the laws by blocking roads.
“If they block roads, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and the government will not tolerate it. The government will not give in to demands made through mob rules,” Yongyuth said.
He cited the case of three leaders of protesters in Pathum Thani as a warning example. He said the three leaders were sentenced to Bt1,000 fine each and one-month jail term for blocking a road in Pathum Thani over dissatisfactions on flood compensations. The jail term was suspended.
