Protesters in Bangkok / Protestos em Bancoc

Centenas de manifestantes invadiram e assumiram o controle do aeroporto internacional Suvarnabhumi , em Bangcoc, na Tailândia, contra o governo do primeiro-ministro Somchai Wongsawat.

O movimento de protesto pretende manter o aeroporto fechado até que Somchai renuncie e tenta impedir que o ex-primeiro-ministro Thaksin Shinawatra, que vive atualmente no Reino Unido, volte à vida política do país e acusam o atual governo de ser corrupto e hostil com a monarquia.

Anti-government protesters remained in position outside the departure terminal at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport, prompting officials to cancel all departing flights and bringing Thailand's political stalemate to a crisis point.

Throughout the day Tuesday, thousands of protesters kept the Thai government of prime-minister Somchai Wongsawat on the run, blocking the entrance to the government's temporary offices at the old airport north of the city and massing in front of army headquarters.
