Yellow Shirts to join civil group gathering on Preah Vihear dispute at Government House

BANGKOK, Aug 6 (MCOT online news) - Thailand's yellow-clad People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) movement on Friday announced it will join a planned gathering of a network of civil groups at Government House on Saturday, seeking clarifications from the government over the ancient Preah Vihear temple dispute.

Key PAD leader Sondhi Limthongkul said after a meeting Friday of the movement's leaders that they resolved to support the moves of the so-called 'Thailand Patriot Network', seeking reports of progress on the government's work in response to the continuing dispute over the historic temple.

Mr Sondhi however said that the Saturday demonstration at Government House will not be led by yellow-clad leaders, but will be broadcast live via the group's satellite television, ASTV, and another key PAD leader, retired Maj-Gen Chamlong Srimuang, will personally join the event.

The PAD leader claimed that Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Suwit Khunkitti endorsed the meeting result of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)'s World Heritage Commission (WHC) in Brazil last week.
