Suthep: PDRC is pro-democracy Sat, January 25, 2014 12:25 AM Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban sent a letter to US President Barack Obama on Friday defending his fight against caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. He said another letter was sent to United Nations Secretary-general Ban Ki-moon to explain the ideas of the Peoples Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC). Mr Obama and Mr Ban to date have had distorted information from some media organisations and lobbyists hired by the network of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, Mr Suthep told protesters at the Pathumwan rally stage. Let me assure you that the PDRC is not conducting an anti-democratic uprising. In fact, the PDRC is a pro-democracy movement intent upon removing the dictatorial regime led by Yingluck Shinawatra, who has been empowered through and directed by her elder brother, Thaksin Shinawatra, he said in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by the Bangkok Post. Thai citizens have a moral responsibility to rise up and demand the removal of both Yingluck and the influence of Thaksin, then define and implement the reform necessary to ensure that the Kingdom of Thailand remains free from unjust and corrupt leaders in the future, the letyter continued. The reform would bring about free and fair elections, Mr Suthep added.
