Anti-government Red Shirts to hold Bangkok rally on Feb 13
THAILAND’S ANTI-GOVERNMENT Red Shirts are planning a major rally tomorrow at Bangkok’s criminal court to demand the release of their detained leaders, highlighting how tensions continue to dog political life in the country.
Prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has said there will be elections in the first half of this year if there is no fresh political violence.
The election will be a watershed event for Thailand as it will give the first opportunity for the divided country to decide who it wants as ruler after years of polarising violence and political uncertainty.
