and advised him to surrender.
According to CMPO, Suthep, secretary-general of the protesting People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), will be arrested on charge of leading an insurrection, not for leading the anti-government protests.
The protest leader is now wanted under a court-approved arrest warrant.
Earlier, Suthep has called on soldiers to protect anti-government protesters following the deadly shooting of a core leader of one of the PDRC's allied groups.
