Protests threaten Bangkok government
Police in Bangkok prepared for an anti-government protest on Monday that the demonstrators promised as their final showdown.
According to the International Herald Tribune, parliament is considering rewriting the constitution which has caused the demonstrators, who call themselves People’s Alliance for Democracy, to plan to block the gates of parliament.
According to CNN, the issue is no longer about rewriting the constitution, rather lawmakers will debate legislation related to an upcoming summit.
Area schools were closed and animals at a local zoo secured as police put up barricades.
