The protest march of civil movements on Monday concluded with its leaders, L.Tsog, G.Uyanga, D.Battsogt, B.Lhagvajav and L.Ninj, going to Government House to submit their charter of demands to the Parliament Speaker. However, D.Demberel refused to receive it in person and the Secretary of the Parliament Office, S.Magnaisuren, came to collect it. The protesters would not submit it to him, though, and finally the head of Parliament Office, Ts.Sharavdorj, received it.

The protesters demand a response within 72 hours from 2.10 pm yesterday, when the charter was delivered. They sought and received permission from the Mayor to put up gers in Sukhbaatar Square until the response is received. Some 400 people are taking part in the sit-in, including representatives from six districts of UB and 21 provinces.

The protest, supported by 30 NGOs as well as civil movements, did not draw as many people as had been expected, but there was not a single car near Government House, as MPs and others who park their vehicles were unwilling to take the risk  of any damage, after the experience of July 1, 2008.

The protest was to press for pro-people Government decisions, and for dismissal of Parliament.
