The cabinet on Tuesday assigned Information and Communication Techninology Minister Ranongruk Suwunchwee to hold talks with Thaicom Plc and ask it to take action against a satellite television station which has presented "distorted information" to the people, deputy government spokesman Supachai Jaisamut said after the cabinet meeting.

The spokesman said Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, in his capacity as director of the Centre for Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO), informed the cabinet about the television station.

He said the distorted information caused more people to join the rally of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD).

Although Mr Supachai did not mention the station by name it was understood to be the People Channel, which has broadcast live and nationwide the activities of the red-shirts in Bangkok.

Mr Supachai said Mr Suthep wanted Mrs Ranongruk to talk to Thaicom Plc about this matter.

"The cabinet wants Thaicom to say by noon today what action it would take against this station, which has broken the law, otherwise CAPO will action according to the law," Mr Supachai said.

Earlier today, UDD leader Weng Tojirakan asked the red-shirts to go to the Imperial World shopping mall on Lat Phrao road, where People Channel is located, to guard against any move the shut it down.
