Thu, 05/20/2010 - 04:55 — admin

Thai red shirt protesters are reported to have threatened reporters and cameramen in Bangkok, particularly those filming retreating protesters looting and committing acts of arson. Protesters also attacked the offices of the state-run Channel 3, which they claim broadcasts distorted news stories that favor government interests.

The offices of the Bangkok Post and the Nation were also evacuated after alleged threats were made by retreating protesters. The Nation in particular is known for being sympathetic to the interests of large businesses and social elite in Thailand.
