RATCHAPRASONG, APRIL 25, 2010: United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) protesters in Bangkok today swapped their trademark red clothing for clothing of many colors ahead of a massive securty crackdown expected to commence in the early hours of Monday morning.
As tens of thousands of democracy supporters flocked to the Ratchaprasong rallying point dressed in normal street wear, large bundles of clothes were delivered to the stage by red-shirt sympathizers for distribution to those with only red clothes.
At the same time tens of thousands of police from all corners of the country were converging on Bangkok, reportedly armed with shotguns, in preparation for what protest leaders have been told will be a massive crackdown commencing around dawn tomorrow morning.
By early evening UDD leaders had received information that a huge force of almost 90,000 police and soldiers had been assembled for a massive final crackdown attempt.
At his evening media briefing core UDD leader Jatuporn Prompan said 214 units of soldiers had been positioned close to the Ratchaprasong intersection in preparation to dispersing the protesters.
Mr. Jatuporn said the government has assembled a massive force of “more than 40,ooo soldiers and 44,000 police” to crackdown on the red-shirts, with information indicating the police will be the first wave of security forces to move against the protesters, with the army bringing up the rear.
UDD co-leader Natthawut Saikua told protesters the decision to change out of their distinctive red clothing was based on information that more than 200 Thai soldiers were patrolling Bangkok on motorbikes mimicking the brutal tactics of the Iranian Basji, confronting red-shirt supporters traveling to or from the Ratchaprasong rally site and beating them.
