No more protests: Prawit warns

Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan on Monday warned that any protest should not be held again in near future as to maintain Thailand in order.

Prawit was responding to earlier remarks from the United Front for Democracy agianst Dictatorship chairman Jatuporn Prompan, who urged Prawit that the latter's reconciliation attempts should bring some process by April or his red-shirt group will "make some changes". He also said to open a seminar forum despite a current junta's ban on political gathering.


"Don't threaten me with protest. That should be enoughh," Prawit said "I have opened floors to all levels [of discussions]. He [Jatuporn] may hold a seminar if he wants, but he'd better talk to me of what he wants. If he breaks any law, I may need to prosecute him accordingly,"
