BANGKOK, THAILAND (ANS) -- A ministry worker in Bangkok says she woke up to the sound of helicopters and explosions as Red Shirt demonstrators held out against government forces in their demands for early elections to replace a government they deemed illegitimate and elitist.
News reports say city workers have now started to clean up the area the Red Shirts had occupied in Bangkok's commercial hub for more than two months. Most of the protesters are thought to be rural poor and working class activists who support deposed former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
