The red shirts, who called themselves “brave prodemocracy people”, began the protest at noon. They were led by Pongpisit Khongsena and occupied the road island in front of the Government Complex where the Constitutional Court is located.
The protesters said they would rally for at least three days. The Metropolitan Police dispatched a company of crowd control officers to keep security at the site.
The red shirts claim that the Constitutional Court judges had caused rifts in society.
