万花筒 2010-04-30&05-01 红衫军的新策略（在线收听）

Anti-government protesters in Thailand are threatening to use more aggressive measures in their fight for fresh elections. As part of a new strategy they've stopped wearing red shirts to make it hard for troops to find them, they've also set up checkpoints outside Bangkok in order to prevent troops from traveling into the capital.

"You are checking Bangkok bomb vehicles to prevent the police reinforcement entering as they want to kill people in Bangkok."

Fears are amounting that the army may use force to evict the protesters who've been camping out in central Bangkok for weeks, the Red-shirts support former ousted prime minister Taxin Shinaward who expressed concerns to protest leaders about violent crackdown.

Taxin phoned in last night, he was heard from the stage, he told us that he is in good health and there's no problem, he's worried about all the people down here that there will be another crackdown, he's afraid that the government will use war weapons to kill the people.

Fears of the civil conflict to growing up to the government rejected the Red-shirts' compromise offer at the weekend and after the home of senior Thai politician was attacked with the grenade. Meanwhile, the protests have an impact on Thailand's economy, a government spokesman said on Monday that if the demonstrations continue for up to 3 months, economic growth for 2010 could weaken.
