EmbassyProtest

27 AUGUST 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A Thai man protester holds up a sign protesting against the fee allegedly paid to Tony Blair to bring him to speak in Thailand. About 25 people, including at least two British citizens, picketed the British embassy in Bangkok Tuesday morning. They were protesting against former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is expected to speak to a political reform commission established by Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. The protest leaders were invited in to the Embassy grounds to speak to representative of the British government. The protest disbanded afterwards. No one was arrested during the protest, which lasted a little over an hour. The Thai government has denied paying Blair his usual fee of about $800,000 (US). PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
