In 2009 Chaturon joined the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship ( UDD ) , also known as the " Red Shirts " movement . Reportedly , Thaksin wanted Chaturon to become one of the movement 's leaders , but he could not come out on top , given the network 's heterogenous and decentral structure . Still , Chaturon supported the " Red Shirts " during their protests in 2010 . He condemned the violent strategy of Abhisit Vejjajiva 's violent approach toward the protest movement , but also insisted that the " Red Shirts " should keep a non-violent strategy , arguing against hardcore leaders of the movement
