Khon Kaen: Reds Raid City Hall

As security officials tightened its blockade of red-shirt protesters in Bangkok, pockets of red-shirts in the provinces have begun to stir up chaos in their respective provinces. In Khon Kaen, a group of red-shirt protesters have managed to rain the province's City Hall. They are currently not yet able to proceed to the second floor of the building. There are riot control officials present at the scene (11.55 A.M.) but no action has been taken to neutralize the situation yet. The protesters are demanding the government cease its operation and violence against the protesters in Bangkok.

Dr. Weng in Erklärungsnöten : ...handmade gun...

Kann ich nur bestätigen, hatte auch 2 von diesen in TH. Das sind einschüssige Guns mit Schrotflinten-Patronen und die sind nur für den "Nahkampf" zu gebrauchen! Wenn jemand 20 meter weiter vorne steht, nützt die nichts mehr! Kostete damals (1982) 300 Bath/Stück

Truppen rücken in besetztes Viertel vor

In der thailändischen Hauptstadt Bangkok haben bewaffnete Truppen damit begonnen, die Barrikaden vor dem besetzten Geschäftsviertel einzureißen. Mit gepanzerten Fahrzeugen und Wasserwerfern bezogen sie zunächst im Umkreis des oppositionellen Protestcamps Stellung und setzten dann Tränengas ein, um weiter vorzurücken. Es wurde scharf geschossen. Tausende Demonstranten haben sich nach wie vor in dem umkämpften Viertel verschanzt.

Die meisten Red Shirt Leader auf der Flucht -- Nattawuth will "bis zum Ende" kaempfen.

Red Shirt Leaders Flee Ratchprasong Stage

Reports from various Thai media confirm that none of the red shirt leaders can be seen backstage at the Ratchprasong intersection. Among the leaders believed to have fled the scene are Arisman Phongruerngrong, Weng Thojirakan, Charan Dista-apichai, and Suporn Attawong. Arisman was reportedly seen getting into a white Toyota Yaris and fleeing via the Pratunam area. The other two main leaders have not been seen. Reports that the leaders fled followed developments at the Sarasin intersection as military personnel were able to reclaim the area. After exchanging fire with protesters at the Sarasin barricade, soldiers were able to clear and reclaim the intersection, which leads directly into the Ratchprasong stage. It is believed that leaders had decided at that time to flee.

Reports indicate that some protesters have approached authorities indicating that they would like to go home. One red shirt leader, Nutthawut Saikua, has since appeared on stage at around 11 A.M. confirming that he will fight at Ratchprasong to the end. Reports indicate that Jatuporn Phrompan and Kwanchai Praipana are still backstage.

The Center for the Resolution of Emergency Situations has confirmed that some red shirt leaders have indeed fled. Authorities are asking the public to inform officials if the leaders are seen anywhere. The CRES hotline is 02-551-1515. CRES also made it clear that any protesters with the intent of going home can do so by walking to the Pratumwan intersection, on to the National Stadium where transportation has been prepared.

So langsam fängt es an:

In Udon brennt die City Hall (lt, Thai TV) und die Demonstranten verhindern erfolgreich, daß die Feuerwehr zum Brandherd gelangen kann.

Khon Kaen steht kurz davor.

Jetzt ist langsam Koffer packen angesagt. Einfach nur noch traurig!
