BANGKOK — Blood was spilled Tuesday on the third day of mass demonstrations in the Thai capital. Anti-government demonstrators pooled their blood — drawn by medical workers in air-conditioned tents — to unleash a red tide at the gates of Government House, the office of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, and later at his party’s headquarters.
Their so-called Red Shirt protest movement remains resentful over the 2006 military coup that ousted former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and accuses the current government of favoring the country’s wealthy elite.
