Pro-Thaksin protesters end Bangkok rally
Supporters of ousted Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra yesterday abandoned a protest camp outside the prime minister's office but vowed to continue their fight to unseat him.
Hundreds of red-clad protesters have been besieging Government House -- Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's office -- since Tuesday in a bid to push for new elections in Thailand, which has already seen months of political upheaval.
Leaders of the so-called "Red Shirts" had vowed to wage a "protracted" campaign against the two-month-old government, but despite attracting 10,000 people Tuesday, numbers dwindled throughout the week.
