Thailand’s red-shirts plan new Bangkok rally
Anti-government protesters in Thailand say they plan another big parade and rally in the capital on Saturday.
The protesters, known as the red-shirts because of their distinctive clothing, are calling for the prime minister to resign and call fresh elections.
The government has extended special security legislation and brought in extra troops to staff check-points.
The move follows a series of unexplained explosions at buildings associated with the administration.
The explosions in Bangkok have raised the political temperature.
Anti-government protesters have mounted a series of targeted demonstrations in the past two weeks, ranging from ritualistic blood curses to head-shaving to noisy parades through the streets of the capital.
