Thousands of anti-government protesters are continuing their demonstrations1 into the night in the Thai capital, Bangkok, in a bid to to topple Prime Minister, Yingluck Shinawatra.
The protesters have blocked a government complex and caused traffic jams in the capital. Protest organisers say Sunday will be their "victory day," and are calling on followers2 to seize all state ministries3, telecommunications agencies and other enterprises. Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban told demonstrators Friday night that a group of protesters would seize the Prime Minister’s offices on Sunday.
Earlier in the day, protesters forced their way into the grounds of Thailand’s army headquarters, asking the military to support their increasingly aggressive campaign to topple the prime minister. Another crowd of protesters staged a rally outside the headquarters of Yingluck’s Pheu Thai party, where hundreds of riot police stood guard to prevent them from entering.
Yingluck has repeated her call for negotiations4 to solve the crisis. She has also ruled out an early election, saying the situation in Thailand is not calm enough for polls.
