Chana protesters head home after Thai cabinet agrees to delay project


BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): Chana Rak Thin (Protect Homeland Chana) protesters agreed to go home on Wednesday (Dec 15)) after the cabinet resolved to delay a controversial industrial estate project in Songkhla until a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is completed and the prime minister ordered a fact-checking committee to be set up.

The group left Chamai Maruchet Bridge and headed back to Songkhla’s Chana district in the morning after camping at the bridge the day before.
