At 13:00 hrs. Mr.Tharit Pengdit, Director General, Department of Special Investigation, briefed the press on the outcome of the meeting of the Center For Maintaining Peace and Order (CMPO) earlier in the day, gist as follows:

1. The CMPO wished to reaffirm that the CMPO is a special body established under the Emergency Decree with a duty to maintain democracy and enforce the law. However, as a result of the Civil Court's ruling, the authority of the CMPO has been limited. The CMPO has been attempting to perform its duties as much as possible by encouraging the public to not join the rallies, restoring functions of government agencies, and taking legal action against those who had violated the law. 

3. The Director of the CMPO will file a request to the Constitutional Court to consider whether the demonstrations led by the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) constitute lawful assembly. The request will be submitted together with 89 files of evidence, of around 300 pages each.
