The Civil Court threw out an appeal by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) on Wednesday, and ordered the group to open roads and turn off loudspeakers during the day in front of its Government House protest.

The court upheld an injunction issued on Monday which ordered the group to lower the volumes of its loudspeakers between 7.30am and 4.30pm from Monday to Friday to stop interfering with classes at nearby schools.

PAD core leaders Maj-Gen Chamlong Srimuang and Pibhob Dhongchai took the children, parents and teachers of Rajavinit school back to the court, but heard its second setback in three days.

The school and students complained the PAD rally was inconveniencing them.

The court said it does not rid the group of the right to gather, but said it has to protect the rights of other people as well.

It agreed with the parents and students that the protest affects the lives of students and those commuting around the venue.
