Two years of protests
In September 2006, the military ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in a bloodless coup after months of protests by the People’s Alliance for Democracy.
The group says the current prime minister, who is Thaksin’s brother-in-law, is merely the former leader’s puppet.
They accuse Thaksin and his allies of corruption and abuse of power.
Thaksin is in exile, a fugitive from a conviction for violating a conflict-of-interest law.
