Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra Saturday asked protesters not to blow whistles into the face of her son as a symbol of protest against her.
She said the protesters should vent out their anger at her, not at her son, Supasek Amornchat.
“He is innocent and he knows nothing about the political conflicts,” Yingluck said.
She said her son or Nong Pike, is still going to school as usual and she believes that he is strong enough.
Earlier, there were unconfirmed reports that Yingluck’s son encountered an whistle-blowing protest by a parent at his school. But the school denied it.
The Harrow International School, where Yingluck’s son is studying, issued a statement on its website that the rumours circulating about politically motivated attempted security breaches at School were untrue.
Michael Farley, the head master of the school, said in the statement that the school has reviewed security at School and the school will ensure that all staff are vigilant in order to ensure the children's safety.
It said the school will be open on Monday 2nd December as planned and the school management is monitoring the situation and will advise the parents accordingly.
Farley said in his statement as: “I request that all parents support the School by ensuring that no politics are brought on Campus. Our School is a place for children to enjoy learning.”
Asking protesters to spare her son, Yingluck said: “I won’t run away. I’m still here. Although I am a woman, I won’t run. I dare to face all the incidents.”
