The reinforcement of armoured vehicles and troops in Silom and Saladaeng areas early this morning showed that the government will today use force to crackdown on red-shirt protesters at Ratchaprasong intersection, Gen Lertrat Rattanavanich, an appointed senator, said on Wednesday.
“It is likely that the government wants to rapidly end red-shirts rally, probably within today. There will be no peace talk as the government chooses to use force rather than political mechanism”, Gen Lertrat said.
The senator could not imagine what the 5,000 red-shirts at the rally site would be when the crackdown starts.
He projected more than 100 reds would be killed and more than one thousand would be injured.
Gen Lertrat also doubted whether the government could keep the situation under control as the red-shirts had vowed to fight until the last minute.
