"Protesters demand Thai leader’s exit" by Thanyarat Doksone | Associated Press March 30, 2014
BANGKOK — Tens of thousands of antigovernment protesters marched in Thailand’s capital Saturday, reviving a whistle-blowing, traffic-blocking campaign to try to force the resignation of the country’s prime minister.
The protest came after a lull in antigovernment rallies and amid growing concern of violence between opponents and supporters of embattled Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. It also came a day before a key vote to elect a new Senate.
Yingluck’s opponents have tried a variety of tactics for the past four months to force her ouster. They have blocked Bangkok’s major intersections, stormed government offices, and most recently transformed the city’s sprawling Lumpini Park into a messy protest headquarters overrun with tents and sleeping bags.
I LOVE IT!
That tells you all you need to know regarding their propaganda pre$$ blessing and approval!
It's OCCUPY THAILAND, and the bankers aren't big on that!
*****************
A group of several hundred protesters forced their way into the prime minister’s compound, Government House, in a symbolic show of defiance. The compound has been deserted since protests started.
Yeah, it's not like the $ymboli$m e$posed by political puppets in the propaganda pre$$.
The march was the first major rally since Thailand’s Constitutional Court ruled March 21 to nullify last month’s general election, a ruling cheered by protesters and criticized by Yingluck’s supporters as the latest sign of judicial bias against her.
‘‘The fact that the election has been nullified means that our campaign is successful,’’ Thaworn said. ‘‘Now we must finish the job with reforms.’’
Yingluck has refused to resign and had called the Feb. 2 early elections to receive a fresh mandate. Her ruling Pheu Thai party and its predecessors have easily won every national election since 2001. It had been expected to win again in February, especially because the opposition Democrat Party boycotted the election.
Election officials say it will take at least three months for a new vote to be held, prolonging Thailand’s political paralysis.
Yingluck’s supporters, known as the Red Shirts, have generally kept a low profile during the antigovernment protests. However, as Yingluck’s government comes under greater threat of legal action that might force it from office, they have said they are prepared to respond with force.
You have been warned, people of Thailand. Agent provocateurs about to be unleashed.
On Monday, Yingluck is scheduled to submit her defense to the National Anti-Corruption Commission for a case her supporters call politically motivated that could lead to her impeachment.
If the commission decides to indict Yingluck and send the case to the Senate for an impeachment vote, government supporters have vowed to rise up in her defense. The case accuses Yingluck of dereliction of duty over the government’s flagship rice subsidy program, which has run up huge losses.
That is when the talk of lynching arose.
The current Senate is pro-Thaksin, but that could change in Sunday’s election to fill 77 seats in the 150-seat Senate. The remaining seats are appointed, and a government attempt to make the Senate a fully elected body was one of the triggers for the unrest that started in November.

You judge for yourself if Thailand is getting the coverage it is due compared to say.... Ukraine?
