Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej STORYLINE: On August 26th Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej called for people to end a series of protests in Bangkok that aimed to topple him from power. Samak spoke less than an hour after thousands of protesters from the right-wing People's Alliance from Democracy flooded into the compound of Government House, which hosts the prime minister's offices. Hours earlier dozens of protesters armed with knives, guns and golf clubs had stormed a state-controlled television station and briefly forced it off the air. Alliance members began by storming the government-controlled National Broadcasting Services of Thailand or NBT studios, forcing it to shut down for a few hours before police arrested as many as 80 protesters for trespassing, the broadcaster said. It was the first time in recent years that a large crowd had managed to get onto the Government House grounds. The protests were the latest effort by the alliance to force Samak's government from office. The group contends Samak is a proxy for former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 coup and now has gone into self-imposed exile in England. The protest group led months of demonstrations that ended in Thaksin's ouster by the September 2006 military coup for alleged corruption and abuse of power. On August 29th Thai police muscled into crowds of anti-government protesters occupying the prime minister's office compound to deliver a court order demanding they leave, sparking scuffles that left several people with minor injuries. About one-thousand of the demonstrators formed a human chain around five key protest leaders from the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) to prevent their arrest while pressing their demands that the seven-month-old elected government of Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej step down. Earlier in the day, many of the demonstrators, some armed with golf clubs, batons and bamboo sticks, had pushed up to 400 officers out of the Government House grounds in Bangkok, and then celebrated the police ouster by dancing to rock music. But officers later returned to deliver the court order, sparking minor clashes in which about a dozen people were injured as the standoff entered its fourth day.
