PM urged to condemn attack by red shirts

About 200 red shirts on Friday allegedly assaulted and beat up a small group of white-masked people in this northern city. Video clips and pictures of the assault have been shared in social media stirring widespread criticism.
Unless they support such actions, they must express their opposition, stop and prevent as well as punish the people who did so, he said.
“If you continue to allow this [the assault by the red shirts], it will lead to tension, violence and even political change,” he added.
Police were present but did not try to stop the red shirts from attacking the white-masked demonstrators, who rallied at the Health Park behind Chiang Mai University before the attack. Some 200 red shirts had gathered at the Grand Waroros Hotel before moving to attack the white masks.
V for Thailand Facebook page, which mobilises the white-masked protesters, called on its supporters to gather today at 1pm in front of the Royal Thai Police headquarters. The group would stand “quietly” at 2pm.
Amid concerns of a clash, the group said there would be 300 volunteer guards. Meanwhile, the allies of the white masks would also rally in many provinces at the same time.
