BANGKOK, Dec 12 (TNA) - Police plans tightened security at National Stadium in the capital on Saturday when the pro-Thaksin group calling themselves the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) will meet.

Police checkpoints will be set up on Rama IV Road and roads near the stadium to screen suspicious vehicles.
