Protest on Saturday Nov 11 2006
The protest by the anti-coup ally on Saturday Nov 11 at Sanam Luang had just finished peacefully. The participating groups were D-Code, TMC, Wayupak (
This is the 2nd time of the protest that the D-Code group has involved with. The first one was on Nov.1 where fewer people gathered. Lesson learned from the first time, the second one was much better organized and attracted quite a lot of crowds given our limited resources/publicity. It bodes very well for other anti-coup coalitions to stage a protest in the future as people become less fearful of the martial law and the military thus be more courageous to express their voices.

How many people? Who spoke? Were there police? Did the yellow shirts try to disrupt the protest?
There were about 1000 people joining the 2nd rally and had been observed by the military office, fellow ally and police as well. Next rally will held on 18 Nov 2006 again.
How much mainstream press coverage was there? Did reports on the protest appear in the newspapers and state television?
It was broadcasted on ITV channel Nov 11 2006 and MCOT on Nov12 2006 only.

Also,checkpoints have been set up to keep a close watch on buses and vans transporting villagers from the North and Northeast to stage a demonstration at Sanam Luang after the government lifted the ban on political gatherings of more than five people.
