BANGKOK, Jan 13 (MCOT online news) - Activists of the Thailand Patriots Network on Thursday ended the group's protest at the Foreign Ministry, but threatened to mobilise 50,000 protesters to rally at the Defence Ministry and prolong the anti-government campaign until Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva steps down.
Led by key leader Chaiwat Sinsuwong, network members marched to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Thursday afternoon to pressure Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya to resign from his post following an alleged slow response to the arrest and help of seven Thai nationals who have been detained in Cambodia since Dec 29 for allegedly trespassing into the neighbouring kingdom.
The protest however ended around 6pm and the demonstrators moved to join others who were protesting at Government House.
Mr Chaiwat announced the group's stance after a one-hour meeting in the evening that it will continue the rally against the government to oust Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.
He said the network also planned to march to other locations including the Ministry of Defence.
Mr Chaiwat stated that the government has no legitimacy to run the country after it accepted that the seven Thais had intruded into Cambodian territory whereas the area where they were arrested belongs to Thailand.
The network leader also claimed that about 50,000 people are expected to join the Thailand Patriots Network campaign.
Regarding the group's plan to close Thai-Cambodian border pass in Sa Kaeo province, Mr Chaiwat said the committees will discuss this issue as it is crucial before announcing their decision on Friday at 11am.
Mr Chaiwat said, however, that the closure of Thai-Cambodian border is considered useful as it will affect illegal businesses along the Thai-Cambodian border at Aranyaprathet district.

Mike,
You are a civilize person. 30% readers support you, 70% are possibly suffered by Cambodian's civil wars torn their families and lost their country. Please forgive them, I support your UNITED/UNITY though.
sounds like the present siem gov't is trying to buy votes from pad thugs groups as siem gov't can't even control the extremist pad thugs people! and they expect cambodia to work well with them and cooperate with them? in their dream, perhaps!
siem gov't is always catering to pad thugs because they wan to buy their votes, that abishit's administration, very ineffective in controlling the pad thugs led by monkey see, monkey do!
