BANGKOK – An anti-government protest in the centre of Thailand’s capital, Bangkok, has broken up.
The BBC reported that large groups of demonstrators who had been camped around the Government House have been walking away from the area that has been occupied for three weeks.
The news follows calls by protest leaders for people to leave the area, after thousands of police and soldiers moved to tighten a cordon overnight.
Protest leaders said they were allowing people to leave because they feared that more lives would be lost if the demonstrations continued.
Two people were killed and more than 100 were injured in yesterday’s confrontations between protestors, troops and even local residents, who came out of their apartments to confront the rioters.
