Grim protests in Bangkok

About 80.000 Redshirt demonstrators have sought confrontation with soldiers in various places in Bangkok. Although no violence was involved, the military was ordered to withdraw, it seems that the protests grimmer Service.

Earlier, protest leader, Nattawut Saikua, had called on the demonstrators to chase the soldiers away.

“We will storm the places where soldiers are hiding. We'll rattle the fences and we'll cut the barbed wire. We march through the barricades. We march for democracy!” cried, the leader of the 'Red Shirts', to the crowd. “We will end military repression. This is where we will bring about democracy.”

Saturday's demonstrations were more confrontational than any of the protests in previous weeks. It brought the Thai Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban announced on television that the situation was under control. "There will be no confrontations with the demonstrators and we will try not to thwart their movements."

The redshirts celebrated the departure of the military as a victory.
