PAD

Thailand's pro-establishment "Yellow Shirts" called Monday for the imposition of martial law to end mass anti-government protests by the rival "Red Shirts," warning they may take action themselves.

Despite former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra denying that he had accompanied Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on a visit to disputed border areas this weekend, anxiety is looming in Thailand over its implications for the domestic political situation.

Mr Sondhi, 62, a media owner and a top PAD leader, said the M-79 attack during the PAD rally site at Sanam Luang on November 15 was an attempt to kill him as it was aimed at the stage while he addressed PAD from the stage.

The government has no plan to invoke the Internal Security Act to control the planned mass gathering of supporters of the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) on Sunday, acting police chief Gen Pateep Tanprasert said on Wednesday.

BANGKOK : Though they are no longer rallying on the streets, Thailand's Red and Yellow Shirt movements are resorting to some unique ways to raise funds. In Bangkok, plain white rice can now be red or yellow, depending on your political leanings.
