The Civil Court has ordered the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship to partially lift its blockade of Government House so officials can enter the compound. The Prime Minister's Office sought the court's intervention to dissipate the UDD rally's growing momentum on the back of deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra's daily phone-ins to protesters. The injunction orders the red shirt protesters to remove their blockade on Luk Luang road, from Thewakam intersection to Chamai Maruchet bridge, and to allow access to Government House through gates six and eight. UDD leader Jatuporn Prompan said they would appeal the injunction and urged the demonstrators to stay put.
