P-Move end rally after govt promises to 'protect' villagers

The People's Movement for a Just Society (P-Move) ended its rally yesterday, saying it had reached an agreement on a number of issues with the government. However, it vowed to return if the government failed.

 

“According to the memorandum of understanding signed with the protesters, the government has agreed to solve problems concerning Pak Mool Dam and protect villagers. The problems will be discussed at the Cabinet meeting next Tuesday,” protest leader Krisakorn Siraruk said. The 200 or so protesters gave roses to police officers and the media, thanking them for cooperation.
