The mass anti-government rally by the United front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) will start one day sooner than previously planned and will run from Nov 28 to Dec 2, Natthawut Saikua, a UDD core leader, said on Thursday.
Another UDD leader, Jatuporn Promphan, had said on Wednesday that the red-shirts' rally to demand the government immediately call a general election would run from Nov 29 to Dec 3.
Mr Natthawut said red-shirts would gather at the Democracy Monument on Ratchadamnern road from about midday on Nov 28, and would stay there overnight.
On Nov 29, after the armed forces had finished their military parade rehearsal, UDD supporters would regroup at the Misakawan intersection and stay overnight in the area. On Nov 30, the red-shirts would rally against the government at various key roads in Bangkok and after that they would regroup at the intersection.
Mr Natthawut said the red-shirts would peacefully disperse in the early morning of Dec 2. The demonstrations would be peaceful and without weapons.
“If the government fails to bend to the UDD’s demand, the red-shirts will return and take to the streets again after the celebration of His Majesty the King’s 82nd birthday anniversary on Dec 5.
"That demonstration will continue until the demand is met,” the UDD leader said.
