BANGKOK, 17 Oct 2013 Demonstrators at Urupong Intersection said they would move their rally back to the Government House if pressured by police.
According to Deputy Metropolitan Police Commissioner Pol Maj Gen Adul Narongsak, who negotiated with the leaders of demonstrators gathering at the Urupong intersection, he asked them to relocate their demonstration site to Lumphini Park, as residents in the areas had sent a flood of complaints to the police regarding noises, and inconvenience caused by the demonstrators, as well as stench from the toilet trucks.
In response, the leaders told the deputy commissioner that they would stay put at the Urupong intersection, reiterating that they were carrying the demonstration in a peaceful manner and no weapons had been found among protesters.
The leaders also threatened to move their rally to the Government House if the police kept on pressuring them to relocate.
Activities at the demonstration site comprise speeches taking to task the government for its performance.
