Red Shirts ready to mobilise supporters into city streets
By English News



BANGKOK, Nov 20 – Red Shirt supporters will expand their rally in Bangkok, originally scheduled to end tonight, if the Constitution Court’s ruling today fails to appease them.

Thida Thavornseth, chairwoman of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), said the rally at Rajamangala Stadium is to monitor the court’s judgement on a charter amendment concerning electoral procedures and composition of the Senate.

A bill, calling for the election of all members of the Senate, with no appointed members as at present, was passed by Parliament, prompting the opposition Democrat Party to lodge a petition with the Constitution Court claiming that Parliament's action breaches Section 68 of the charter.

Mrs Thida said the Constitution review was approved by the national legislative body and the judicial branch should not intervene and block the action.

The three pillars of democracy – administrative, legislative and judicial branches – should not interfere with each other, said Mrs Thida.

She said Thailand will be in chaos if the Constitution Court dissolves the ruling Pheu Thai Party and revokes the political rights of 312 MPs and senators.

“We may mobilise the suporters (now at Rajamangala Stadium) instead of calling it off Wednesday night. Core leaders will hold a meeting if the court’s ruling is not in our favour. However, we will not pressure, threaten or assault the judges,” said Mrs Thida.

“The demonstrators will listen to only three core leaders - myself, Nattawut Saikua and Jatuporn Prompan. We assure that our fight will be peaceful.”

The UDD leaders went on stage to address to the demonstrators at Rajamangala Stadium last night without the usual video-linked speech by ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. (MCOT online news)

Get ready for the next battle....

oh well just another black mail from the UDD if you do this we will do that .... so childish !

when you look at the picture please have a look....all the chairs are red but without people on it. So it can't be many.

Only 1500 turned up yesterday.

Just goes to show that this state of affairs is losing red support at an olympic standard speed.

Whatever happened to, 'we can mobilize 1 million red shirt protesters'?

More intimidation

"without the usual video-linked speech by ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra"

Perhaps he's busy looking for his balls, in the sand-pit ?

Caught a bit of it last night on the television, seemed a lot more than 1500 and that was around 10pm...

The three pillars of democracy – administrative, legislative and judicial branches – should not interfere with each other, said Mrs Thida.

Isn't the idea of the three branches to keep an eye on each other ... ie checks and balances?

A pitty, he could have explained why the amnesty for Abhisit and Suthep is important and why these "murders" don't want (or don't need) amnesty.

Peaceful as long as we get what we want. I think this is what she means there.

The headlines are so misleading and always stir up a lot of unneeded panic. Mobilize is always used to describe troop movement in regards to the army. We are talking about 2000 max protestors here. So ridiculous! Oh a d don't forget, their red shirts so they are now called a mob,

Auntie Thida is fighting her but of for PT to hold on to power. Could she be afraid that under another government the truth about who organized the men in black might be revealed?

Does somebody knows how many red shirts are still at the stadium at the moment.

So much for the assurance that the reds would stay peacefully in their playpen. Now the toys are starting to fly out of the pram......

Is this going to end tonight?? NO WAYYYY...if this happens it will be a real Miracle.

From Amazing Thailand to Miracle Thailand....Now I understand it all

Maybe that:

 

Abhisit and Suthep are murder and must be tried at COURT.

Lets amnesty them so our leader can come back

Wait they are against the amnesty.....

We red shirts are against the amnesty

But wait we don't vote against it, because blabla

We need to protect the government against the democrat murders who don't want to get amnesty

Lets protest against the court.....

 

caused a few red shirts to be confused for what or against what they are now also the dear lady can't help as she is on a shopping trip to Singapore today.

 

And some even get doubts about their leadership . There are a few reports about reds that changed sides (is that treason?).

Yingluck is in Singapore!!!!!! Why?

Yup. You're right. There aren't that many... perhaps because they felt betrayed? Just goes to show perhaps they're not all available on tap for 500 baht after all? I expect numbers to swell if the court starts banning people though.

"Mobilize" is not restricted to describing troop movement at all, as a quick google of 'mobilize def ' would show you.

"Mob" is the correct collective noun for sheep.

Somehow this does not strike me as sounding like a peaceful mobilization on the streets and certainly not what tourists will want to be greeted by in the fast approaching "high season". Just sounds like trouble.

Shopping??

Edit: two daughters left for London to "work" with many suitcases (8 or 18 rumors aren't clear, but definitely they carry a lot clothes or heavy tools for working??) and Somchai and his wife Yaowapha (Thaksins other sister) also left.

Now little sister Yingluck left. Soon Thailand is Shinawatra free.

PM to monitor Constitution Court's verdict at Government House /The Nation

The Reds aren't that popular with the locals in Bangkok anymore. In Sai mai, Saphan mai and Don Muaeng they have sort of gone from hero to zero. The locals used to turn out in mass for the Red's rallies but not anymore. Yeah, I agree with emptyset... they feel betrayed, but I doubt the, masses will swell unless they are all bused in from Issan,
