Protesters demand Thaksin's extradition from Britain

Around 2,000 protesters rallied outside Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs today, demanding that it revoke the diplomatic passport of ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and extradite him from Britain.

The demonstration in Bangkok was led by the People’s Alliance for Democracy which organised a bigger protest on Tuesday at the British Embassy, calling for the British government to return the Manchester City FC owner to Thailand where he faces corruption charges.
