Bangkok Protesters Make 'Final Push' To Topple Yingluck Shinawatra -- The Guardian
Week of demonstrations against government turn violent, with two people killed during mass rally at university sports stadium
At least two people have been killed and more than 50 injured after a week of anti-government protests in Bangkok turned violent. Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets on Sunday in what organisers said was a final push to topple the embattled government.
Some 30,000 protesters have gathered in various locations around the city – including government ministries, police headquarters, the prime minister's office and television stations – to take part in the so-called "people's revolution" with the aim of wresting control from the PM, Yingluck Shinawatra, and installing a "people's council".
