Asia, Bangkok, Thailand, Protests, about 40 000 Red Shirt protesters gathered at Sanam Luang, and marched then to Government House. Even though the authorities erected barricades, the protesters broke through with a minimal amount of violence. The only violence occurred when soldiers attempted to push protesters away, but had to move soon. The protesters remained for about one hour in front of Government House, and dispersed peacefully themselves.31/1/2009, ┬й 2009, Nick Nostitz/Agentur Focus
