Thai protesters to rally until deputy PM surrenders: leader
BANGKOK (AFP) -- Thai anti-government protesters will keep up their rally in central Bangkok until the deputy premier surrenders to police over a deadly April 10 crackdown, one of their leaders said Monday.
Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaungsuban was in charge of security when troops launched the unsuccessful operation to clear an area of the capital, leaving 25 people dead and hundreds injured in violent street clashes.
"If Suthep refuses to surrender himself to police, we refuse to end the rally," a leader of the "Red Shirt" protest movement, Nattawut Saikuar, said from a stage in the demonstrators' sprawling encampment.
"If Suthep surrenders to police, then we will go home," he added.
