About 20 police officers, most of them in plainclothes, have been deployed the entrance of a Bangkok safe house of the 11 of 14 student activists, wanted on arrest warrants for protesting.
11 of 14 are those wanted on arrest warrants for commemorating the first anniversary of the coup at the Bangkok Art and Cultural Center and Khon Kaen on 22 May.
Rangsiman Rome, one of the 11, told Prachatai that they will not resist the arrest as this fight is coming to an end. They will continue to fight the case in the court, but the struggle for democracy will continue.
The group asked Prachatai not to disclose their location because they do not want their supporters to come and confront with the police. The confrontation may lead to more injuries, Rangsiman said.
The activists on Wednesday 24 June, the 83rd anniversary of the Siamese Revolution, gathered in front of Pathumwan Police Station, awaiting the arrest on an important day of Thai democracy. As about a hundred of supporters came to give moral support, the police did not arrest the group.
Rangsiman Rome talks to Prachatai on Thursday morning at the safe house.
