BANGKOK: A Thai court on Thursday issued arrest warrants for seven people involved in the storming of parliament a day earlier, including one anti-government protest leader, the prime minister said.
"Once leaders who prefer violence are arrested, we believe we can pursuade other protesters to leave the protest site," Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva told reporters, referring to a mass rally in Bangkok's commercial hub.
The seven people targeted by the arrest warrants include Arisman Pongreungrong, a Red Shirt leader who also stormed an Asian regional summit in the resort city of Pattaya last year, forcing it to be cancelled.
