In Thailand there has been a struggle where the citizens have grown tired of the dictator government. The government closed down a anti-government T.V. station and this angered many citizens sparking a long standoff between protesters and police. The standoff ended when the protesters rushed the compound, climbing barbed wire and rushing the police to force out the goverenment. They took control of the compound, forcing the government to re-air the station. With the leader of the anti-government party on the run he still stays connected with his party through different sources of communication. All they claim to want is a free country and they will do what is necessary to get one.
