Bangkok under curfew

After anti-government protesters at last surrendered, Thailand's capital city of Bangkok was put under curfew by authorities. Lingering fires left over from the protests still burn throughout the city, and some resistance was encountered even after protest leaders expressed their desire for no more deaths. The curfew is to run for 11 hours and Thai TV stations are only to broadcast officially sanctioned channels. This is the first time in 15 years that such a curfew has been imposed on the city. The red shirts have been protesting since March 14, making it 2 months that protests have gone on.
