1,000 policemen deployed to protect Government House

BANGKOK: (The Nation): Some 1,000 policemen have been deployed to protect Government House this morning after the Civil Court ordered protesters yesterday to stop using amplifier systems and blocking the roads.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Lt-Gen Assavin Kwanmuang said he ordered the stepped-up security at Government House because he expected that the PAD would move its stage there as a result of the Court’s injunction.
