PTV bosses apply to use Sanam Luang next Friday
Representatives from banned PTV yesterday sought permission from city authorities to use Sanam Luang for a fourth public rally next Friday.
PTV manager Aree Krainara submitted the request to Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) spokesman Chanin Roongsaeng. Aree said the PTV rally would focus on the draft constitution and he hoped more people would attend. Previous PTV rallies at Sanam Luang attracted a few thousand. Chanin said the permanent secretary of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration was authorised to permit the use of public places like Sanam Luang, but the authority needed to ascertain if the assembly was lawful and publicly beneficial. Bangkok Governor Apirak Kosayodhin said the city would make sure the rally followed the law. "The assembly must comply with the law and the debate should not involve a third party," he said.
