The highest tension is now at the Phan Fah rally site of the Dhamma Army where many protesters are sitting and praying as the face several companies of police. The police appear to be waiting for orders to move forward. They have removed the barriers between them and the protesters which include monks.
The main focus today is on the Government House area which rally leader Suthep Thuagsuban has vowed to defend. At the moment there is a standoff between a very large police force and a very large group of protesters led by Mr Suthep and several other top PDRC leaders near the Misakawan intersection. Negotiations are taking place but since police are demanding a complete withdrawal from the area, Mr Suthep and leaders from the Network of Students and People for Reform of Thailand (NSPRT) are unlikely to accept.
