Red Shirts to extend protests to Bangkok streets as of Monday morning

Though UDD leader Veera Musikapong earlier on Sunday gave the government 24 hours to dissolve parliament and call fresh elections, Mr. Jatuporn said protesters would lay siege to the 11th Infantry Regiment in Bangkok's Bangkhen district, where Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajjiva had set up a “war room” to monitor the rally, before the deadline expires.

“We will be out the front of Mr. Abhisit’s hiding place by midday unless he agrees to dissolve the parliament and hold elections. We will start moving from here (the Rajdamnoen Avenue rallying area) starting at 9am and by midday will have the [military] base surrounded”, Mr. Jatuporn said.

Royal Thai Army spokesman Col Sansern Kaewkamnerd said an additional 20 companies of soldiers had been sent to protect the compound of the 11th Infantry Regiment against any invasion by the Red Shirts.
