Thai "red shirt" leader urges protesters to pull back
BANGKOK, April 10 |
BANGKOK, April 10 (Reuters) - A Thai "red shirt" protest leader told demonstrators to pull back to main protest sites after the army called on troops to withdraw.
"Right now, many people are injured. The security forces are pulling back and we should do the same," Nattawut Saikua told protesters.
Thai troops fired rubber bullets and tear gas on Saturday at demonstrators who retaliated with petrol bombs in the biggest confrontation of month-long street protests for new elections. (Writing by Nick Macfie; Reporting by Ambika Ahuja; Editing by Jason Szep)

Why am I once again suspicious of another so called “color revolution”.
Who finances the actual red shirts and protest signs in English?
It’s always the same brand new shirt in exactly the same “red” or “orange” or “green”.
Never a peoples version with whatever they had at home that somewhat matches the color.
And trust me, the people will hate what is coming when they win and they will win.
It’s another fake revolution.
