25/3/2010 (Bangkok Post) —Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra on Thursday sent SMS messages via his website thaksinlive.com to his supporters asking them to join the red shirts’ rally on March 27.

“This 27, you are invited to join another major rally so that our Thai children can grow up in society with justice and democracy,” he said in his short message.

Thaksin did not appear on a video link to talk to his supporters for the past three days, saying he had a sore throat.
