Defiant Thai protesters fan out in nervous capital

None

Thousands of defiant anti-government demonstrators fanned out to other parts of Thailand's capital and threatened businesses with ties to the government Monday after ignoring police orders to leave Bangkok's paralyzed commercial district.

 

About 100 protesters pushed their way into their newest target, the Election Commission, in anger that the commission has yet to rule on whether the ruling Democrat Party violated laws on financial donations, which could lead to the party's dissolution. No violence was reported and all protesters - inside and outside the building - left the area after a compromise was reached. (AP)
