[webfact]

 

Seventy protesters, who had been camping at “Baan Thaloo Fah village”, which was set up in front of the Government House on March 13th, were rounded up by the police at dawn on Sunday and bussed to the Region 1 Border Patrol Police (BPP) Command in Pathum Thani province for questioning.

 

The protesters, most of whom were still resting in their tents, were caught off-guard in the dawn raid by about 300 anti-riot police officers, who allegedly gave them just three minutes to pack their belongings and move out of the village on Rama V Road, next to Chamaimaruchet Bridge in the capital’s Dusit district.

 

A representative of the protesters reportedly told the police that they were willing to move out, but requested more time to pack their belongings. The police refused.
