CAPO declares protest areas unsafe

BANGKOK, 30 November 2013 (NNT) - The Center for Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) has detained a man who carried a weapon into the protest areas, and discouraged the protesters from surrounding government offices.

CAPO Spokesman Pol.Maj.Gen. Piya Uthayo said officers from the Nang Leong police stations had arrested Ek Thaothong and seized his gun in one of the protest areas. The arrest showed that the places were not safe, the officials said.

The spokesman therefore suggested the protesters should be careful and exercise discretion when listening to others about the ongoing political situation. Pol.Maj.Gen. Piya confirmed the police would do their best in preventing the crowds from breaking into important government agencies.
