450 police to be deployed at PAD rally
About 450 police officers will be deployed at the yellow-shirt mass rally to be held at Sanam Luang on Sunday, police said.
The People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) announced on Tuesday, saying that it is a show of force to "protect the country's integrity and protest against ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra."
The PAD announced that the group would come out against Thaksin to protest against his two latest moves -- appointment as adviser to the Cambodian government, and for giving an interview to Times Online, with content considered in contempt of the royal institution.
The force would be stationed around Sanam Luang, the Democracy Monument and the Royal Plaza from noon. The PAD planned the rally at 4pm.
Police estimated that there would be as many as 30,000 people joining the protest.
