Violence flared up again in Bangkok earlier today when one police officer was killed and 50 civilians injured in clashes between Thai police and anti-government protestors.
Multiple gunshots were fired at midday at a site in the historic section of the capital, near Government House, the residence of the Prime Minister.
Police are trying to clear protestors out of sites that have been blocked by demonstrators since the back end of last year.
Anti-government protesters want Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to step down, alleging that she is controlled by her brother, former leader Thaksin Shinawatra, who is currently in self-imposed exile.
They want her government to be replaced by an unelected "people’s council" to reform the political system.
