CRES: Emergency Decree should be further enacted until UDD disperse

BANGKOK, 11 May 2010 (NNT) – The Center for the Resolution of Emergency Situation (CRES) is prepared to recommend Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to further put the State of Emergency Decree in effect until the United Front of Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) protestors disperse their gathering for fear of terrorist attacks and possible illegal transfers of war weapons out of the rally site.

CRES and Army Spokesperson, Colonel Sansern Kaewkamnerd stated that CRES would suggest Mr Abhisit not to cancel the decree at this time in order to maintain high security level with the rows of military officers at the rally site to prevent unexpected incidents. Col Sansern believed that there might still be some ill intentioned groups that were sent in disguise to create chaos in the gathering area. He added that the decree should be cancelled only after the protestors dispersed their mass demonstration at Ratchaprasong intersection.

Moreover, CRES would set up eight more security spots from the six current checkpoints around the rally area in order to ensure that war weapons, especially the ones that have been taken away from authorities by the protestors, will not be smuggled out of the area for use in invoking further turmoil.

Colonel Sansern also said that CRES is ready to facilitate the protestors who wish to return to their hometown.

Regarding the strip of military rank of Army specialist Major General Khattiya Sawasdipol, also known as ‘Seh Dang’, Colonel Sansern said that the matter would follow the set procedure, adding that any officers committing wrongdoings are liable to drastic legal actions, whatever ranks they are holding. Seh Daeng has been accused of possessing illegal weapons and being allegedly involved with the bombing attacks during the protest.
