Chiang Mai (Mizzima) – The government of Thailand will increase restrictions on the movement of migrant workers from neighbouring countries, apprehending they may join the ensuing major political demonstration in the country by the red shirts.
Phaitoon Kaewthong Thai Labour Minister said he felt that anti-government groups’ plan to bring migrant workers to join their protests from March 12 to 14 is just a rumour. However, not taking chances, the Ministry has warned employers to keep an eye on their workers and see that they do not move out of the province where they are registered.
“In the event of workers travelling out of their area, the employers have to inform the authorities to provide documents. Besides only Thai citizens have the right to join political demonstrations in Thailand, according to the Thai constitution,” a report in Thailand’s Public Relations Department website quoting him said.
