Source: 500 upcountry Yingluck supporters now in Bangkok

A former red-shirt leader in Bangkok claims that at least 500 supporters of Yingluck Shinawatra have arrived in the capital in small groups, ready to rally in solidarity with her when the verdict is announced on Friday in her malfeasance case. 

The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the groups came by chartered van. 
They do not seek to “pressure” the Supreme Court – only give moral support to the former prime minister, the source said.
A military intelligence officer in Chiang Rai, also asking to not be identified, noted there had been little related activity there, but various groups were being closely monitored.
