NPO bill's opponents confront police barricadeProtesters, left, and police, right, face off across rolls of razor wire in the middle of Chamai Maruchet bridge on Monday. The protesters are demanding the government shelve the NPO bill. About 10.30am their leaders began speaking by turn, saying the government-sponsored bill was against the constitution and principles of human rights. The protest leaders announced at 12.10pm they would step up the protest to another level. The NPO bill is currently being put for public opinion by the Social Development and Human Security Ministry, after the cabinet approved it in principle in January.
