The government has no plan to invoke the Internal Security Act to control the planned mass gathering of supporters of the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) on Sunday, acting police chief Gen Pateep Tanprasert said on Wednesday.
Pol Gen Pateep earlier this morning met with Deputy Prime Minister for security affairs Suthep Thaugsuban to discuss plan to deal with the yellow-shirt demonstration.
“Police believe the Sunday demonstration by PAD supporters will be peaceful,” the acting police chief said. Mr Suthep directed him to refrain from the use of force against the protesters.
