Anti-ICJ protesters should avoid border areas: Army chief
Play
PROTESTERS have the right to rally following the World Court's November 11 ruling on Thailand's dispute with Cambodia over land adjacent to Preah Vihear Temple, but they should not do so in strategically sensitive areas near the border, the Army chief sai
“The presence of protesters might block troop movements,” General Prayuth Chan-ocha said.
Prayuth was speaking after visiting an Army Ranger task force in Si Sa Ket to ensure military preparedness ahead of the ruling.
He said he was concerned that protesters would seek to renounce the decision by the International Court of Justice, even though the situation was not critical enough to warrant such move.
