People walk past other people protesters reading books as a sign of a silent protest at a shopping district in central Bangkok, Saturday. People read books in what one of them said was an alternate peaceful protest by their group against military rule, by reading “unarmed insurrections and people power movement books”. Thai police and soldiers flooded downtown Bangkok on Saturday to preempt further protests against a May 22nd coup, after the army chief said a democratic election is still more than a year away. |
