Thailand's top copper popped off a warning to any foreigners planning on disrupting tomorrow's torch run through Bangkok with immediate deportation with the added punishment of permanent blacklist running contrary to the Foreign Minister's no one will be exiled from the Land of Smiles for demonstrations against the Celestial Kingdom's torch relay from the Plaza Athenee to the Royal Palace.
"If they come here and engage in unlawful acts, they must be prosecuted ... if they engage in illegal activity, we will proceed according to the law by revoking their visa. We have prepared everything to ensure the smoothness of the ceremony." Over 2000 police will be added to the 130 Chinese blue-suited security squad to prevent the estimated 100 protesters from disrupting the proceedings of Thailand's big neighbor to the North.
Capitalism and the Olympic Spirit running hand in hand, although the pro-Tibet spokesperson said, "Under the Constitution, an individual - local or foreigner - has the right to rally for a cause. Peaceful rally should be allowed."
Allowed like Tak Bai.
