Thailand's pro-government protesters threaten action
Thailand's pro-establishment Yellow Shirt activists are now threatening to take to the streets to shut down the anti-government Red Shirt rallies paralysing Bangkok. Thailand's pro-monarchist Yellow Shirts say they will take action to protect the country if the government does not put an end to the Red Shirts' protests. The Yellow Shirts are a pro-establishment group who shut down Bangkok's airports in 2008 before a court verdict removed the government and the current administration was installed. They are fiercely opposed to exiled prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his poor rural allies, the Red Shirts.
