Police have been instructed to warn employers that foreign laborers will not be allowed to take part in a series of anti-government rallies starting this Saturday, Deputy Prime Minister
Suthep Thaugsuban said Monday.
The United Front for Democracy against Democracy (UDD) or the red-shirted people will stage the mass anti-government rallies from Nov. 28 to Dec. 2.
Police have been ordered to explain to employers with foreign labors that only Thai people have a right to voice a political opinion, Thai News Agency quoted Suthep as saying.
Hence, Thai employers have to further explain to their foreign laborors that they have no right to do so, the deputy prime minister said.
However, police officials will check about the origin of the foreign laborors, who reportedly will be used to swell a number of the
anti-government protestors, Suthep said.
The gathering will start from about 12.00 a.m., local time, on Nov. 28, at the Democracy Monument on Rat-cha-dam-nern road in the center of capital Bangkok.
UDD core leaders announced earlier that the red-shirted protestors will peacefully disperse early morning on Dec. 2.
The rally purpose is aimed to bring down the coalition government, while the UDD group expects at least one million UDD supporters will join
the rally.
