NSC confident officers can handle UDD rally
BANGKOK, 1 March 2011 (NNT) – The National Security Council (NSC) is positive that security officers will be able to handle the upcoming mass gathering of the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) on 12 March 2011.
According to NSC Secretary-General Tawin Pleansri, the UDD are simply exercising their rights to assemble accorded them under the constitution. There will be no problem as long as the eight UDD core figures recently released on bail breached no bail conditions prescribed by the court.
The secretary-general has voiced his confidence that security officers would be able to maintain peace and order as well as keep the situation under control.
As for the plan to regain protest areas from the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) now camping around Government House and Ratchadamnoen Road, Mr Tawin responded that the agency did not aim to disperse the crowd but to open more roads to traffic for commuters.
Asked if authorities plan to open more roads now occupied by protesters for traffic, the secretary-general said the decision rests with the Center for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO), of which National Police Chief Police General Wichean Potephosree is the director.
