BANGKOK, May 25 (UPI) -- A Thai court has approved an arrest warrant for former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra on terrorism charges related to protests that paralyzed parts of Bangkok.
The anti-government demonstrations began March 14 and ended this month but not before more than 80 people died in clashes with police and military security forces.
Many of the protesters were supporters of the self-exiled Thaksin, who was ousted from power by a military coup in September 2006 but returned to Thailand when his political allies won power in 2007.
