BANGKOK -- Organizers of a rally that attracted at least 5,000 mostly young Thai protesters here asked them to disperse Thursday night -- a move possibly intended to avoid arrests following an overnight stay -- but to return at 5 p.m. on Friday.
Parit Chiwarak, better known as Penguin and one of the recently arrested leaders, sent a message urging people not to stay late so that they can be mainstays for future protests.
