The movement said in a statement dated July 5 that the Sunday rally is being called to protest against caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's speech on June 29 in which claimed that "a leading figure with clout" has secretly campaigned to topple his government.

The statement said Thaksin, however, refused to name the figure when asked. His accusation led people to assume that he meant Privy Councillor President Gen Prem Tinsulanonda or HM the King. This is not the first time that Thaksin has made this kind of remark, read the movement's statement.

Therefore all Thais, no matter where they are, should gather to protest in front of the Thai Embassies of  their countries on Sunday from 10am to midday.

Meanwhile the People's Alliance for Democracy announced in Bangkok that it would hold another massive rally at Sanam Luang next Friday to pressure caretaker prime minister to resign.

The five PAD decision makers told a press conference that the rally would begin at Sanam Luang and the demonstrators would parade to Government House.

The press conference was held by Sondhi Limthongkul, Pipop Thongchai, Somsak Kosaisuk, Chamlong Srimuang, and Suriyasai Katasila.

The PAD leaders said the rally would be peaceful but the group would decide that day whether to prolong their rally or not.
