Thai Protesters Blockade Buildings Housing Ballot Papers Ahead of Election 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Anti-government protesters in Thailand have formed blockades around
buildings where ballot papers are being kept in a bid to prevent their
distribution ahead of polls this Sunday. The opposition wants Prime
Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to resign and be replaced by an unelected
council. They are boycotting Sunday's election, which Yingluck's party
is expected to win.
