Police will continue to assess the situation right up to August 25 before finalising a decision on how much law-and-order manpower would be deployed to ensure security ahead of the arrival of supporters of former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra, whose case in connection with her government’s rice-pledging scheme will be ruled upon that day.

Deputy national police chief Pol Lt-General Srivara Ransibrahmanakul said on Wednesday that police would adapt their current security plan and apply it on August 25, when the Supreme Court delivers its verdict in the case against former Prime Minsiter Yingluck Shinawatra.
