A Thai court has issued arrest warrants for five leaders of an
anti-government campaign on charges of inciting unrest and trying
to overthrow the government.
The warrant came after thousands of
protesters from the People' Alliance for Democracy occupied the
compound of Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej. Police are trying to
negotiate an end to the protests which are aimed at forcing Samak
to resign. The PAD accuses him of ruling as a proxy for ousted
Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Samak accused the protesters of
trying to provoke a coup.
