Protesters rally before Supreme Command office


Hundreds of anti-government protesters gather in front of Supreme Command headquarter on Chang Wattna Road on Tuesday despite knowing that there will not be cabinet meeting there.

They were blocked at the entrance gate of the headquarter. Soldiers guarding at there informed the protesters that there was no cabinet meeting but failed to convince them to leave.

At first, the army prepared water truck but later moved out. Soldiers deploying along the entrance were not carrying weapons.

The situation sometime became tense because of the heat. There was no presence of leader of People's Alliance for Democracy at the rallying site.

The gathering intended to block the weekly cabinet meeting scheduled on every Tuesday. The protesters however gathered in front of the headquarter despite being informed that the cabinet meeting will be moved to Wednesday.

The protesters rallying in front of the headquarter were those move from the temporary government seat at Don Muang airport which was already seized by the protesters.

Some protesters travelled to Suvarnabhumi Airport reportedly to block Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat who is scheduled to return from Peru on Wednesday.
