Thai protesters to move to consolidated site


    BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's "red shirt" protesters are to consolidate their base in the capital Bangkok on one site in the city's Rachaprason shopping district, one of the movement's leaders, Nattawut Saikua told reporters on Wednesday.

    "We have combined our force for security purposes and to prevent the government from using force to disperse us again," Nattawut said.

    The red shirts currently have two bases in the capital, one in the Phan Pah district near government house and the other in the Rachaprasong shopping district.
