The United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship on Tuesday performed a ritual to bring down the government, pouring blood taken from its supporters at all four gates of Government House.
UDD leaders claimed the red-shirts donated a total of 300,000cc of blood. About 60 MPs of the opposition Puea Thai Party also gave blood for the ritual.
The donation process started about 8.30am and ended about 3.30pm.
The red-shirts then marched from Phan Fa bridge, leaving about 4pm - with the blood in twelve 5-litre bottles, two large buckets, and 50 syringes - and arrived at the Government House shortly before 5pm for the ritual.
At 4.50pm, Jatuporn Prompan, a UDD leader, a man dressed in white as a Brahman, and another man holding a Buddha statue in his arms, walked to Gate No 2 where a religious rite was performed. The brahman cited spells and incantations and poured an amount of blood in front of the gate.
After that the brahman took some of the blood from the ground to write letters on the concrete posts of the gate.
Thats not the whole article but I thought it was interesting.
