The business sector ask reds to leave shopping area

The business sector on Monday called on anti-government protesters to move out of Ratchaprasong intersection, and asked the government and the red-shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) to settle their political dispute as soon as possible.
The Ratchaprasong Square Trade Association (RSTA) and the Thai Shopping Centre Association (TSCA) made the call at a press conference.
They asked the protesters to leave Bangkok's prime business and shopping area immediately as many thousands of shops, vendors and employees had already been affected.
The two associations said many families were totally dependent on their daily earnings from their businesses there.

In December 1999, the United Nations designated Nov 25 as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, to commemorate the murder of the Mirabal sisters, the three Dominican political activists who opposed the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo in 1960.
