Protest at London Royal Thai Embassy: 20th May 2010 - Female speaker

London, 20th May 2010, 5:40pm

On the 18th May, a No Sweat activist received an email from a Thai Workers' Rights activist living in Bangkok asking for solidarity and a demonstration in support of the people of Thailand.

Not in solidarity with the Red shirts or the Abhisit Government but with the people who are struggling for the restoration of democracy.

The No Sweat activist made a call out for people to demonstrate and protest against the Abhisit Government and for free and fair elections immediately!

With 48 hours notice, a dozen or so activists most who of whom he had never met were waiting to start the protest.

This speaker tells the camera operator her view on why she is here and what needs to be done.

Yo phuket59, did you call the yellow (same color as cowardice) shirts terrorists when they took over the airport in Bangkok?

The protesters were killed and they did not gain true democracy that they fought for, one person, one vote and uneducated votes should also be counted!. Well done guys, at least you do do something about it.

So hilarious, a protest alone in front of the Embassy...... Means that other educated Thai are on the goverment side.

Have you seen any demonstration around the world to save the red shirts? When you are terrorists, you have to assume your act
