The Thai Spring group is set to launch an anti-government Web page called Thai Spring Forum as a venue to hold regular online meetings, before calling on supporters to stage rallies when the time is right.
The group, led by Vasit Dejkunchorn, a retired police general, and former senator Kaewsan Atibodhi, has been protesting since last month against comments made by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra in a speech in Ulan Bator, Mongolia.
Kaewsan said he would Friday reveal details of the group’s “Ulan Bator letter”, endorsed by 26,000 supporters. The letter will be distributed to democratic countries across the globe, he said.
The group would also launch the Thai Spring Forum Web page, with eventual plans to hold online meetings every Friday and Sunday. During the initial stage, meetings will be held every other Friday and Sunday from 6-7pm.
