Thai protesters hold ground amid lockdown
Protesters in the Thai capital reinforced their encampment today as government efforts to blockade them overnight led to sporadic violence that killed one man and saw a high-profile Red Shirt military leader shot in the head.
The protesters, seeking a change of government, remained defiant of attempts to force them to end their two-month protest that has seen them turn an upmarket part of central Bangkok into a heavily-barricaded stronghold.
