Русская версияThailand's Parliament has convened for an emergency session in a
bid to resolve the country's spiralling political crisis.
Prime
Minister Samak Sundaravej has vowed that he will not resign despite
growing pressure from anti-government protesters. The opposition
People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) have already staged six days
of protests aimed at toppling Samak's government. Protesters have
occupied government buildings in Bangkok and disrupted air and rail
traffic throughout the country. The conservative PAD accuses Samak
of being an illegitimate proxy of ex-Prime Minister Thaksin
Shinawatra, who was ousted in a military coup in 2006.
