Red Shirts versus the Government


Yesterday Red shirts protesters broke soldiers' barricades and entered a TV satellite station
The protesters managed to raid the site although the soldiers threw smoke bombs to stop them.
The protesters threw objects at soldiers and the buildings, trying to break into the building.
They reportedly seized police trucks parking inside the compound and forced open and seized weapons from the trucks. The Emergency Operations Command deploy about 7,000 riot forces to guard the satellite uplink station.
Also thousands of red shirts beseiged the Police General Hospital, In beseiging the hospital, the red shirts wanted to contain the riot forces deployed awaiting instruction inside the police compound. A line of monks were seen leading as shield for the red shirts while a line of policewomen were deployed to deter the red shirts from advancing.
Under Buddhist disciplinary rules, monks are not allowed physical contacts with females.
Today the Government have lost patience and the troops are out in force with tear gas and rubber bullets to clear the protesters
