Court urged to suspend demolitions pending review

Representatives of people's networks rallied outside the Supreme Court compound on Rajdamnoen Avenue Friday demanding an immediate suspension of the on-going demolition of old buildings.

The buildings, which some say have historical value, are being torn down to make way for the court's new offices.

"The court should listen to people's opinions," Paranee Sawasdirak, an independent academic who rallied under the banner of "Town Planning for Society Network", said.

Some 20 representatives from various other people's networks joined her Friday.
