All eyes are on this Saturday.
Pro-democracy protestors will gather at the Democracy Monument and march to the Grand Palace.
Police Chief General Suwat Jangyodsuk declared, \u201cIn no way will we let anyone destroy national treasure.\u201d
According to the Chief, 2,333 cases are pending against the pro-democracy movement since July last year. Of which, 524 cases are under active investigation.
The Chief warned against the \u201cgreat danger\u201d of insulting and criticizing the monarchy that would \u201churt the feelings\u201d of the Thai people.
Meanwhile, the group called \u201cPeople Protect the Monarchy Institution\u201d submitted a letter to the Royal Thai Army to request soldiers in the streets.
Group leader Nangnoi Assawakittikorn said, \u201cWe don\u2019t care who you want to chase out, but do no touch the institution that we love.\u201d
(Nangnoi made recent headlines as a \u201cVIP\u201d who received the third mRNA dose in Phitsanulok Province.)
The group, \u201cOng-dam Warriors of the Two Seas,\u201d announced:
\u201cWe are prepared to fight to protect the three pillars, Nation, Religion, and King, in accordance with the Constitution with maximum effort, energy, and capability.\u201d
The group said it would let the police handle the situation. But if any protestor attempts to climb the palace wall, it will act.
(On 17 April, the group forced a Rayong Province man to kneel before the Royal Family\u2019s portrait and beg forgiveness for his \u201cinappropriate\u201d social media post.)
Akrawut \u201cTae\u201d Kraisrisombat of \u201cVocation Students Protect the Institution,\u201d said:
\u201cDon\u2019t worry about mobs clashing\u2026 but if you come out, I come out. I will not be a burden to the security personnel. I will come out to support the officers. I will only stand by the officers.\u201d
Other groups declaring their opposition to tomorrow\u2019s protest include:
\u201cAnti Cyber-Bullying Network,\u201d \u201cPeople\u2019s Center for Protecting the Institution,\u201d \u201cLoyal Subjects Protect the Institution,\u201d \u201cProtect 9-10 Under the Royal Umbrella,\u201d \u201cSri Suriyotai Action Unit Protects the Institution,\u201d \u201cNextGen Loves the Institution,\u201d and \u201cThai Women Protect the Institution.\u201dAll eyes are on this Saturday.
