Thai protest against amnesty bill

Protesters hold ingThai national flags demonstrate against a government-backed amnesty bill as they march in central Bangkok yesterday. An escalation of mass street rallies in Bangkok could deepen divisions in polarized Thailand and threaten the stability of a government feeling the backlash of the political gambit.
