BANGKOK, Thailand — Police fired tear gas canisters today at several thousand demonstrators trying to bar lawmakers from parliament, injuring dozens.
Forty-six people were injured, including two seriously, said Petpong Kumtonkitjakarn of the Erawan Medical Center.
The morning clashes came just hours before Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat, who was sworn in Sept. 25, was to deliver his government’s policy statement to lawmakers.
Protesters from the People’s Alliance for Democracy have occupied the grounds of the prime minister’s office for six weeks. Late Monday, they expanded their protest by marching to parliament.
