Summary
He had announced on Sunday (September 6) that he would submit a protest letter to the Israeli embassy in Bangkok the following day. However, the letter had not been delivered by the time he held Monday’s press conference.
The former leader of the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) outlined the campaign alongside fellow movement leaders at Baan Phra Athit. No street march accompanied the announcement, which he said was intended to explain the movement’s direction and reasons for mobilising.
