Pro-Thaksin rally hopes 60,000 will join

Sanamgluang : 08/06/2007

BangkokPost.com - Leaders of Supporters of Thaksin Against Dictatorship group expect to draw some 60,000 protesters to rally against Council for National Security.

Group organiser Theerachai Saenkaew said he believed more and more people throughout the country will travel to Bangkok to join the rally that is held everyday at Sanam Luang.

"I've received responses from people in the North and the Northeastern," he said. "Although some of them say they cannot come, they ask their relatives in Bangkok to join the protest."

The group, officially established on Wednesday, was founded by some 60 former MPs of the dissolved Thai Rak Thai party as key leaders. They have staged a daily protest at the venue since then.

"Public view us as an NGO campaigning for democracy and against dictatorship," he said.

Mr Theerachai also dismissed reports that the key members paid people to rally. People can't be hired to rally, he claimed.

Blog master said.... God bless us. Thai people would have to show to the world again that Democracy is not simply.
