Red Shirts Retreat from Asian Summit Clash 10 April 2009

  • 15 years ago
Red Shirts are NOT welcome by the Pattaya community for the Asian Summit 10 April 2009.
Time 6 PM. The red shirts were doing their retreat from the demonstration in front of the Royal Cliff Asian Summit. Their retreat was safeguarded by the police.
But, Pattaya & Chonburi communities watching the inefficiency of the army and the police to protect the Asian summit (10 April), decided to express "by themselves" their dissatisfaction. Pattaya & Chonburi communities are outraged by the actions of the Thaksin's red shirts.
The next day, the red shirts, by the same road, crossed all police-army lines, reached the Asian summit and broke into the Royal Cliff Exhibition center. Then, P.M Abhisit was forced to cancel the summit and declared the state of emergency.
Why the red shirts by 3 times reached the Royal Cliff (7-10-11 April) so easily? ......

My camera was OFF when the clash started. I began recording few seconds later.
