Thousands of Thai police on standby to deal with protests on Saturday

 

 

Thousands of anti-riot police will be on standby tomorrow (Saturday) to cope with protests, by several activist groups, expected to take place at various locations around Bangkok.

 

The national police chief, Pol Gen Suwat Chaengyodsook, held a special meeting with senior officers to assess the protest situation and to map out appropriate measures, with an emphasis on the readiness of crowd-control equipment and personnel.

 

Meanwhile, Pol Maj-Gen Chirasant Kaewsaeng-ek, deputy metropolitan police commissioner, said today that police will not erect barriers in advance at planned protest sites adding, however, that this can be adjusted in line with the changing situation.
