BANGKOK, Thailand: Hundreds of people marked the sixth-month anniversary of Thailand's coup with a protest Sunday demanding the quick restoration of democracy in the Southeast Asian country.
"Coup makers, get out!" the protesters shouted as they marched in Bangkok for the second consecutive night ahead of Monday's six-month anniversary of the Sept. 19 coup that ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Demonstrators called for the resignation of the interim government that was installed by the military coup leaders and demanded elections be held immediately.
The government of interim Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont has vowed to step down after elections scheduled for the end of the year.
Protesters marched from a Bangkok park, Sanam Luang, to the home of the Thai king's chief adviser, Prem Tinsulanonda, but were blocked from approaching the residence by police. The gathering ended peacefully after a few hours.
Sanam Luang is where tens of thousands of people held regular protests last year demanding Thaksin's ouster.
Thaksin was toppled following months of mass street protests, with critics accusing him of massive corruption and abuse of power.

Oh "hundreds" ????? I saw picture in the website of protests group that more than this report. I think that people would be afraid. In last year, the fortunetellers casted that the chaos and the violence would be happen in Bangkok absolutely , and would be happen in March or April. You have to understand that many Thai peoples believe in fortunetellers so much, particular this situation , its the last resort.
Prem's role for the 19th coup, he involve in the coup absolutely, Its crazy.
