More than 1,000 yellow-shirt supporters of the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) on Friday morning rallied in front of the Bangkok head office of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation calling for the delisting of Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage site.
Led by PAD co-leader Maj Gen Chamlong Srimuang they submitted a letter to a representative of the World Heritage Committee, demanding the panel to consider delisting the ancient temple as a World Heritage site at its coming meeting.The World Heritage Committee is to meet in France from June 19 to 29.
The protest caused a problem for traffic on Sukhumvit Road and police advised motorists to avoid the Unesco office area.
