Thai authorities have moved to arrest anti-government Red Shirt protest leaders involved in the storming of parliament this week. The government has also disrupted dozens of websites and a television station loyal to the Red Shirts' cause. They are the first measures taken by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva after he declared a state of emergency on Wednesday, to cope with the mass anti-government rallies in the capital. Thousands of Red Shirt protesters, many of whom want the return of ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, have vowed to defy orders to disperse. The escalating unrest has caused Mr Abhisit to cancel plans to attend an ASEAN summit of regional leaders in Vietnam.
Speakers: Panithan Wattanayakorn, Thai government spokesman; Thailand Trade Representative President Kiat Sittheeamorn
