Opposition supporters in Thailand are demanding Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to dissolve the lower chamber of the parliament and call fresh elections. Otherwise, the opposition promised to stage mass riots in Bangkok. According to the ITAR-TASS news agency, over 200,000 of ‘red shirt’ demonstrators, mainly supporters of former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a coup in 2006, have gathered in the city to voice their protests. The Thai government plans to impose a curfew to maintain order in the country.
