 Police and anti-government protesters known as "red-shirts" clash in Thailand on April 7, 2010. Thailand's criminal court on Friday approved to issue arrest warrants against three core leaders of anti-government protesters known as "red-shirts" who caused the shutdown of the Rathchaprasong Intersection, a major commercial area in the capital Bangkok. |
The latest move followed the criminal court's Thursday approval of issuance of arrest warrants against seven other "red-shirt" leaders, who led the protesters to siege and storm the parliament compound on Wednesday.
The new arrest warrants were delivered as Nattahwut led the " red-shirts" to stage a rally at ThaiCom satellite station in central province of Pathum Thani, demanding the government to reopen the broadcast of red-shirts' People TV satellite channel which has been blocked since Thursday morning.
The "red shirts" also urged the government to withdraw security forces deployed inside the satellite station.
