Gaybutton Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 The following appears in PATTAYA ONE: _____ 13 out of 14 Red Shirts Give Themselves Up at Banglamung Police Station There was plenty of action at Banglamung Police Station on Tuesday which began with the arrival of hundreds of anti-government red shirt protesters. Security was tight at the Police Station with the heavily armed Pattaya SWAT Team in attendance to ensure that no breaches of security took place. The Police Station is being used as the Region 2 Command Center for the Police action against those responsible for the recent unrest at the Royal Cliff Beach Resort which forced the cancellation of the ASEAN Summit and for the attack which took place on a car containing the Prime Minister which occurred in South Pattaya. A total of 14 arrest warrants were issued in connection with both cases and on Tuesday, 13 of the 14 people presented themselves to Banglamung Police Station. One of the wanted people was unable to attend as she was currently out of the country. Many of the core leaders of the Red Shirts including Khun Alisaman, who masterminded the invasion of the Royal Cliff, attended the Police Station. A Member of Parliament for the Puea Thai Party offered a guarantee for each of the 13 people who were processed and released pending court appearances. Press conferences were then held by the Police and the Red Shirt Protesters. Khun Alisaman led the Red Shirt Press Conference and stated that he was unhappy that other groups at the protest site including Blue Shirt Protesters were not arrested and he claims that the Police and Army have only targeted the Red Shirts for political reasons. With further threats of Red Shirt Protests around Thailand, this situation is far from over, despite the Police working hard around the clock to ensure that those responsible for the Pattaya unrest and unrest in Bangkok are brought to justice.
