Red Shirts Temporarily Enter Thai Parliament Building
Thai “Red shirt” demonstrators briefly took over the grounds of Thailand’s legislature on Wednesday as they stepped up demands on the government to call an election.
Hundreds of marchers, who have already forced the capital’s main shopping area to close since Saturday, shoved through a thin line of riot police, but then left after about 20 minutes and gathered outside the building.
Ministers had held a cabinet conference inside the building previously but had gone before the protesters entered.
The red-shirt followers had said they would target Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, whose military-backed government is under mounting stress to call an election after four weeks of protests.
