Members of the Thai Patriots Network, who have camped out in Sanam Luang since early last week, have been given another two days to move out.
Deputy Bangkok Governor Jumpol Sampaopol said yesterday that the Phra Nakhon district office was pressing the protesters to move out by getting the police to record the incident and for district officials and police to talk to them. About 500 protesters are camped out at the site.
If they refuse to leave within the deadline, the city will file a police complaint against them, he said. However, the city would not use violence to disperse the rally, as it believes Thai compatriots can talk the problem out. The group, protesting against the government and International Court of Justice’s role in the Preah Vihear temple dispute, refused to leave the site by Saturday, as requested.
