Anti-Government Protestors Descend On Bangkok
Saturday, March 13, 2010 at 5:01 pm
Anti-government protesters arrived in Bangkok on Saturday to prepare for what they called a “million-man march,” aiming to paralyse the capital and topple the government which they say is a front for unelected elites.
Buses and trucks, carrying protesters, heading for Bangkok from the countryside, reached the capital’s central street of Ratchadamnoen Klang on Saturday where they set up tents and a makeshift stage ahead of the main rally on Sunday.
Protesters said the government should dissolve the Parliament and call for fresh elections.
The “red-shirts” leaders said they would stay in Bangkok for at least seven days, aiming to force Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to call an election that Thaksin’s allies would be well placed to win.
