Peace-keeping Operations Command on Sunday issued another order which would block red shirts protesters from staging protests in Silom and Sathorn areas.
POC spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnered appeared in a TV-pool programme at about 4.10pm, detailing lists of roads where "suspected instigators" are prohibited to enter.
"Those who want to enter the prohibited sites have to get permission from authorities concerned," Sansern said. Those who violate the order would face one-year jail term and/or a fine of Bt20,000.
The roads prohibited include Silom, Charoenkrung, Surawongse, Rama IV and Ratchadapisek.
The order was signed by Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban who is also director of the Security Operations Command.
The issuing of the sixth order clearly showed the government's attempt to block the red shirts protesters who are now seizing Ratchaprasong Intersection from moving to Silom and Sathorn roads.
Leaders of the red shirts on Saturday announced that they would expand the protests to Silom and Sathorn areas which are main business zones of the capital.
