BANGKOK, Nov 30 (TNA) - Security agencies will convene Monday to evaluate the overall public safety situation and consider whether the Internal Security Act (ISA) should be revoked following the cancellation of an earlier planned Red Shirt protest, before forwarding the advice to the Cabinet.
Suthep Thaugsuban, deputy prime minister in charge of security affairs, will convene a meeting with security agencies Monday afternoon.
The Cabinet earlier imposed the security law across Bangkok from November 28 through December 14 to maintain law and order during the planned protest to oust the Abhisit Vejjajiva government by protesters of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD).
The so-called Red Shirt activists however announced the postponement of the group's rally, earlier scheduled for November 28 through December 2, to after the New Year celebrations following warning from many parties that the protest period is inappropriate as it is close to the king's birthday.
The security agencies are scheduled to evaluate the situation for the last time before concluding a report and submit it to the Tuesday's Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. (TNA)
