Anti-government red shirt protesters are gathering here in Bangkok today to mark the six month anniversary of the May 19 army crackdown.
The image above, taken by by @RichardBarrow and shared via Twitpic, shows the gathering at Rajaprasong intersection at 3 p.m. local time, or about 45 minutes ago.
Here’s an AFP story about what may be in store:
Thai “Red Shirts” gathered on Friday outside a Bangkok prison where the movement’s leaders are held as they began events to mark six months since a deadly army crackdown on their anti-government rally.
Police estimate that 10,000 people will take to the streets by the evening in the upmarket central shopping zone that the Reds brought to a standstill earlier this year with their campaign for snap elections.
(Emphasis mine.)
