Students shot amid Thai political crisis
Thai police today warned students to avoid street protests after a gunman shot and wounded two students demonstrating against the country’s prime minister, raising new fears of violence in the country’s tense political crisis.
The attack came after the premier, Samak Sundaravej, yesterday proposed a national referendum to decide his political fate, an unconventional compromise that was dismissed by critics as a stalling tactic that will prolong the unrest.
