                       Protesters March Again in Bangkok

   Thousands of opposition protesters in Thailand have again marched
   through Bangkok to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Yingluck
   Shinawatra, in a prelude to their planned shutdown of the capital next
   week.
   The demonstrators marched through the capital city`s historic district
   Sunday in an attempt to build support for the occupation, with similar
   action planned for Tuesday and Thursday. They plan to bring Bangkok to
   a halt on January 13.
   Prime Minister Yingluck has dissolved parliament and called snap
   elections for February 2, but has refused to resign. The protesters
   have vowed to block the vote, which they fear will only return the
   Shinawatra clan to power.
   The developments follow weeks of protests by people seeking to oust Ms.
   Yingluck. Demonstrators say her removal is necessary to purge the
   country of corruption and money politics.
   Demonstrators view Ms. Yingluck as a puppet of her brother, former
   prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
   Mr. Thaksin, a billionaire businessman, was ousted in a 2006 military
   coup. He was convicted of corruption and lives in self-imposed exile.
