Bangkok protests continue
Thailand anti-government protesters have defied orders to leave the fortified camp and continued protests in Bangkok, announced BBC News.
Thai capital, Bangkok, was the scene of violence between protesters and new order forces.
Soldiers fired on protesters to keep them away, while a government official said the closing area operations continue. Gunpointed, women applauded and encouraged those who took the speech on the improvised scene.
Since Tuesday when violence erupted, 36 people were killed and over 250 injured. Renegade General Khattiya Sawasdipol died today, five days after he was shot because he told journalists that he supports the protest.
The Government claims that protesters will have discussions with the improvised camp only if they leave the capital.
Moreover, leaders of the resistance movement demanded talks with government representatives in the presence of United Nations mediators.
