The red-Shirt Rak Chiang Mai 51 group Monday threatened to seize the Thai PBS relay station in Chiang Mai if Thai PBS does not stop airing statements of the People's Democratic Reform Committee.
About 150 red shirts of the group marched to the station at 1 pm to submit a letter calling for the station to stop airing statements of PDRC secretary general Suthep Thaugsuban.
The statement of the group said Suthep for TV stations to air his statement was illegal and if the station obeyed the order, the station would commit wrongdoing.
Before the group submitted the letter to a Thai PBS representative, a leader spoke at the rally in front of the relay station that the Rak Chiang Mai members would burn any TV station that continued to air Suthep’s statements.
