Protests Paralyze Bangkok
2009-04-14
The Thai government has now revoked all passports held by ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, after violent protests that paralyzed the Thai capital, Bangkok, and left two people dead and more than 100 injured. The city remains under tight security, as Thaksin—now the target of an arrest warrant—urges supporters to continue protests.
Here is a ground-level view on April 13 from the camera of RFA Vietnamese reporter Thien Giao. The photos were taken in Yommarat, in Old Bangkok, about 700 m (yards) from a municipal government building.
