Thai opposition protesters to end Bangkok shutdown

February 28, 2014 23:28

The leader of a movement aimed at ousting Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra today announced that protests in Bangkok will be shut down this weekend but made it clear that the fight against the government was far from over.

The surprise announcement by the opposition People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) leader Suthep Thaugsuban, who has led protests against the government for four months, came hours after the army chief refused to rule out the possibility of a coup. Suthep did not give any reasons for his decision.
