Protesters led by the People's Army against the Thaksin's Regime Tuesday entered and occupied three ministries apart from besieging the Interior Ministry, the Metropolitan Police Bureau announced.
Pol Maj Gen Adul Narongsak, the spokesman of the Metropolitan Police, said the People’s Army group, which is led by Gen Preecha Iamsuwan and Adm Chai Suwannapharp, moved the protesters from the Makkhawan Bridge rally site to besiege the Agriculture Ministry, the Tourism and Sports Ministry and the Transport Ministry at 11 am.
Adul said the protesters besieged the three ministries and told officials to leave the compounds.
Adul said leaders then led about 100 protesters to enter each of the three ministries and closed the gates and prevented officials from entering the compounds.
The spokesman said protesters then moved to move to besiege the Interior Ministry and told officials to leave before 12:40 pm. They also threatened to cut the power supply and water supply to the buildings inside.
But the Interior Ministry’s gate was closed and police also guarded the compound so the protesters stayed outside and besieged the compound, Adul said.
