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.

Amid the growing anti Government rally, Thai Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said Wednesday the Government is ready to talk with ousted former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in order to bring peace back to the country. Thaksin has been widely perceived as the real leader of the anti Government protest in Thailand's capital Bangkok as Thaksin has made a phone-in to address his red shirted supporters every night since the mass rally has debuted from last week.  "I am ready to talk with Thaksin both in Thailand and overseas. I can fly to meet with him wherever he is, in order to bring peace back (to the country)," the website by Thai language newspaper Thai Rath quoted Suthep as saying after chairing the special cabinet meeting.
