Bangkok, Thailand supreme court's ruling on Thaksin's assets

The Thai Supreme Court has handed down in decision on ex Primer Thanksin Shinawata's assets still held in Thailand.   It will seize 1.4 billion out of the 2.2 billion total assets .


Thailand had mobilized 20,000 security forces, with 6,000 of them placed on guard in Bangkok, along with 168 security check points but so far there hasn't been a need to put them in action.
Dr. Weng Tojiraken one of the leaders of the United Front for Democracy (UDD) mostly represented by the red shirts put off  the talked about  demonstration and announced: "I'm not fighting for Mr. Thaksin, I'm fighting for my country to be a genuine democratic system."
Thai politics can be a bit confusing and ever changing so guess we will wait and see what happens next.
