BANGKOK, May 28 — The office of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), popularly known as the red shirts, the main supporters of former premier Yingluck Shinawatra’s government, has remained closed, after Army chief Gen Prayuth Chan Ocha declared his seizure of power on May 22.
The UDD office situated on the 5th and 6th floors of the Imperial Department Store in Bangkok’s Lat Phrao district, was found quiet with no sign of any members of the group moving about the office, as three main leaders of the group have been detained by the authorities.
Meanwhile, the Red Shirts’ satellite TV channel was still not able to broadcast their activities through the channel, as the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) has temporary halted all satellite broadcasts. However, employees of Asia Update channel were still seen arriving for work as usual.
Many red shirt supporters were also spotted gathering to talk about the current political situation the nation is facing, though none of the the group’s guards were noticed in the area.
