Statement on Planned Political Demonstrations

Statement on Planned Political Demonstrations

Thailand is a close friend and ally of the United States.

And as a long-time friend, we are closely watching the current situation in Thailand.  The United States believes that differences should be addressed through Thailand’s democratic institutions and not through violence.

Peaceful demonstrations are a hallmark of a democratic society.  We call on protesters and their leaders to forswear the use of violence and to exercise their right to assemble and protest peacefully, in accordance with the law.  We also encourage the Royal Thai Government to exercise appropriate restraint.

#018/10

This message alerts U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in Thailand that political demonstrations by the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (aka UDD or “red-shirts”) are expected to begin in Bangkok towards the end of this week and could last well into next week.  The main demonstration is expected to occur near Government House and along Ratchadamnoen Road in the Dusit district of Bangkok, but the UDD has also announced plans for demonstrations in other parts of town.  As a result, traffic congestion and difficulty of movement is possible throughout Bangkok.   U.S. citizens should be alert to the possibility of UDD demonstrations or gatherings elsewhere in Thailand as well.

While UDD leadership has pledged that the demonstrations will be peaceful, the possibility of violence cannot be ruled out and the government has invoked the Internal Security Act (ISA), which gives the police and military expanded powers to maintain security.  U.S. citizens are reminded of the small bombs which exploded (or were detected) in Bangkok in late February; Thai authorities are closely monitoring the possibility of similar occurrences.

Therefore, U.S. citizens should, particularly over the March 12-14 weekend, pay close attention to public sources of information, including media reporting and the U.S. Embassy website, concerning events on the streets of Bangkok and should be aware of their surroundings at all times.  We remind U.S. citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence.  U.S. citizens are therefore urged to avoid the areas of demonstrations and to exercise caution in their movements around Bangkok or if within the vicinity of any demonstrations.

U.S. citizens traveling or residing in Thailand are encouraged to register with the Department of State or the U.S. Embassy.

ပန္းသခင္

ပန္းသခင္ေရ
ညိဳးသြားမွာ စိုး
ရင္မွာေတာင္မထိုးရက္လို႔
ပ်ိဳးထားရံုသက္သက္ပါ။

အနားသတ္ (Boundary)

ငါ့ ကဗ်ာရဲ ႔ အနားသတ္က ဘာလဲ
ဒီကမာၻထဲမွာ........
အနာဂါတ္က မေရရာတဲ့ အထာၾကီးနဲ႔ လွမ္းေျပာင္ျပေနေသးတယ္။

ဒါဟာ ကဗ်ာထဲက သံစဥ္လား
သံစဥ္ထဲက ကဗ်ာလား
သစၥာတရားဆိုတာ
ဟိုးက ပင္လယ္ေတြထဲမွာမ်ားလား။

စီးေျမာခ်င္းေလ
ပန္းခ်ီကားတပုဒ္လိုပဲ
ငါနားေထာင္ေနတဲ့ သီခ်င္းေတြက စိတၱဇရယ္။

ဒီကဗ်ာကို ငါ...
ကို္ယ့္ကိုကို အရည္ေဖ်ာ္ျပီးေရးေနတယ္။
ဟိုး ပေ၀သဏီက ဂီတလွိဳင္းေတြနဲ႔။

ခ်ိဳပါေစသား
မင္းပ်ိဳမယ္ဆိုရင္လဲ
ငါ့အိပ္မက္ေတြကို အရည္က်ိဳလို႔ ယူသြားပါ။

သံစဥ္ေတြ
အိုး...ငါ့ေသြးေတြထဲ စီးေျမာက်
ဒါဟာ ထာ၀ရ က်ဆံုးမွဳမရွိတဲ့ ကဗ်ာတပုဒ္ပဲ

ဟိုးက
ေတာင္တန္းရဲ ႔ နံရံေပၚမွာ
ပန္းခ်ီကားတခ်ပ္ရွိတယ္။
သိပ္ကို လွသတဲ့။

ဂီတဆိုတာ
ငါ့အတြက္ေတာ့ ေနေနက်
ကမာၻနဲ႔အတူ အထာက်ျပီးသားပဲ။

ကာရန္ေတာ့မရွိဘူးေပါ့ေလ
ဒါေပမယ့္
ဒါက
ဘယ္ဘ၀က က်ိန္စာလဲ တကတည္းကြာ
ငါ့ရဲ ႔ေလညင္းေတြခမ်ာ
တခါတခါမ်ား ပင့္သက္ရွဳိက္ခြင့္ေတာင္မရလိုက္ဘူး။

ဘာပဲျဖစ္ျဖစ္ေပါ့ေလ
ေလေျပေရ
ငါ့ကဗ်ာကို မင္းသံုးျပီး
တခ်က္ေလာက္ျပံဳးတယ္ဆို ေက်နပ္တယ္။

ဒီသီခ်င္းက
သံစဥ္ေတြၾကီးပဲေနာ္
ဒါေပမယ့္ တစံုတရာကို
အရည္ေပ်ာ္သြားေအာင္ေတာ့ စြမ္းေဆာင္ႏိုင္တယ္။

လင္းေန (ရင္မွသံစဥ္)

 May Peace Prevail On Earth.
