The court granted the warrants following a request by Dusit police over an incident about 5.30pm on Wednesday on Phitsanulok Road. On that day, the royal motorcade of Her Majesty the Queen passed along the road, which was cordoned off by security officers to stop protesters. However, many protesters got through, and many were seen flashing the three-finger salute as her motorcade passed. Meanwhile, protest leaders Arnon Nampa and Prasit Khrutharoj were arrested in Bangkok and sent to Chiang Mai, where the provincial court issued arrest warrants for them. Before he was arrested, Mr Arnon accused the police of using questionable tactics by leading the Queen's motorcade into the protest area.
