国际英语新闻:Thai PM demands "red-shirts" to end rally Wednesday
In the night of May 3, Premier Abhisit addressed the nation during a live television program the government is ready to hold a new general election on Nov. 14 if conditions are met.
Dissolution of the House of Representatives could take place any day from September 15 to 30, Abhisit said.
But, core leader Natthawut Saikua said Tuesday evening the "red- shirts" will continue with the rally until Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban surrenders to police and is charged for ordering the crackdown on the protesters on April 10, the Bangkok Post's website reported.
The core leaders did not think Suthep had been formally charged when he reported to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) in the morning, said Natthawut.
Jatuporn Prompan, another core leader, claimed in fact the case against Mr Suthep had not been transferred from police to the DSI.
"The UDD cannot accept the 'show' staged by the DSI and Mr. Suthep," said Nathawut.
Therefore, the "red-shirts" will not end the rally until Mr Suthep surrenders to police and enters the judicial process, Natthawut said.
At about 8:30 a.m. Suthep reported to the DSI to acknowledge charges filed against him by relatives of victims of the April 10 bloodshed.
