Yingluck told supporters, via her six-million-follower Facebook page, that she wanted to avoid any possible chaos caused by a third party. And I don’t want any instigation, which possibly could be brought by a third party, to occur. “So, I’d like to ask that everyone who cares for me, too, not to go to the court [Friday]. However, this time they would not be in touch closely, as they had in the past, due to the strict security measures, Yingluck wrote. Security authorities have prepared measures to deal with the large crowd while also advising them against travelling to the court.
