Red-shirts returning to Ratchadamnoen

The red-shirt people gathering in front of the 11th Infantry Regiment on Phahon Yothin road have been told by their leader Veera Musikhapong to head back to their main rally site on Ratchadamnoen avenue.

Mr Veera, one of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship's core leaders, made the announcement through loudspeakers from the top of a truck .

He said they should return to the Ratchadamnoen avenue rally point, where UDD leaders would cnosider their next move to mount pressure on the government.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said in a televised speech from the peace-keeping operation centre in the 11the Infantry Regiment about 10am, long before the arrival of red shirts, that he would not give in to the UDD's demand for animmediate House dissolution. He said he had the support of the other parties in the Democrat-led coalition.

Shortly after making his speech, the prime minister left the peace-keeping centre in a helicopter.
