Many protests now involve people who have not been active in the Red Shirt protests and live in the area of Rama IV. Red Shirt leaders have called for a cease fire, but the government indicated that it is going to go ahead with operations to isolate the Red Shirt camp and clear the streets.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • Apr. 12, 2010 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A Red Shirt protestor holds up the photo of a Thai civilian killed in violence Saturday during the funeral procession in Bangkok Monday. The funeral cortege for the Red Shirts killed in the violent crackdown Saturday wound through Bangkok Monday. 21 people, including 16 Thai civilians were killed when soldiers tried to clear the Red Shirts' encampment in Bangkok. Thousands of mourners came out to pay respects for dead Red Shirts. Thousands more came out to call for the government of Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to step down. Today Gen. Anupong Paojinda, the Chief of Staff of the Thai Army, reiterated that the Army would not use violence to break up the protests and joined the call for the Prime Minister to call new elections. This is the beginning of Songkran, Thai New Year's week, and the government has cancelled the official festivities fearing more violence. It was during last year's Songkan festivities that the Thai Army and police used force to break up the Red Shirt protests. That protest is now called the Songkran Riots.     Photo By Jack Kurtz
