Bangkok - 8 people died and 737 people have been injured during May 25-December 2 protests, according to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA)’s Erawan Center.
Narongsak Kobsaithong, pro-government supporter, died after a clash between the Democratic Alliance Against Dictatorship (DAAD) and People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) on September 2.
Six PAD protesters were dead because of violent crackdown and bomb blasts. They were Angkana Radabpanyavut, Pol Lt Col Methee Chatmontri, Jenkij Kladsakorn, Yuthapong Samuepak, Kamonwan Muennoo and Ronnachai Chaisri.
This is not to mention Settha Jiamkijvattana who was shot by the DAAD member in Chiang Rai.
The PAD has started its protest on May 25 and just ended the protests at the Government House, Don Muang Airport and Suvarnabhumi Airport on December 3.
Attaining its goal to stop the charter change and bring down Somchai government, the PAD decided it is time to take a break from political movement.
However, the PAD already announced it would stage the protest as soon as Thaksin-related government were formed.
