International Red Cross warned Thai medical
professionals about the use of Red Cross emblem for political purposes.
Yet when I first tweeted from my account ( @PravitR ) about the problem
from my perspective, some pro PDRC supporters blindly insisted that they
have the right to do so. Shame, ignorant but true.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
has expressed concerns over the use of the Red Cross emblem by doctors,
nurses and pharmacists who joined the anti-government People's
Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) march on Monday.
In a letter, Beat Schweizer, chief of the ICRC Regional
Delegation, said the ICRC had contacted the Thai Red Cross about the
issue after receiving a complaint and said that the complainant was
"perfectly correct in pointing out that the Red Cross emblem cannot be
used for political purposes".
Schweizer's letter said: "Following the extensive
presence of Red Cross flags in anti-government demonstrations in Bangkok
at the beginning of this week, we have intensified our contacts with
all stakeholders, including the Thai Red Cross, and addressed the issue.
Thai legislation provides, in fact, a rather strong protection of the
Red Cross emblem.
"In parallel, we also continue to explain why it is
important to preserve the impartiality and neutrality of the Red Cross,
and of medical services in general, particularly in situations of
violence and conflict."
