- 2013–14_Thai_political_crisis abstract "Anti-government protests have been ongoing in Thailand since November 2013, aimed at removing the influence of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra from Thai politics.The protests were triggered by a proposed amnesty bill that would have pardoned people involving in various unrest incidents in Thailand since 2004, including Thaksin Shinawatra, Thai politicians Abhisit Vejjajiva and Suthep Thaugsuban. Although opposition from both the Democrat Party and the pro-government Red Shirt movement caused the bill to be rejected unanimously by the Senate of Thailand. Protests led by former Democrat MP Suthep Thaugsuban continued and turned towards an anti-government agenda. An independent poll reported that the majority of Thai people wanted all protests to end. In a separate incident, the Constitutional Court invalidated a government-proposed amendment to the criticised 2007 constitution. The amendment would have made the Senate a fully elected body. The invalidation was requested by the Democrats,According to several analysts and commentators, a hidden, not openly discussed issue behind the conflict is the royal succession. Reportedly, the anti-government movement is inofficially supported by powerful retired military with palace connections, namely former defense minister General Prawit Wongsuwan and former army chief General Anupong Paochinda.On 25 November 2013, anti-government protesters from the People's Democratic Reform Committee led by Suthep caused the closure of several government offices without police intervention, due to government fears that this could result in a repeat 2006 military coup.On 8 December 2013, all 153 Democrat Party MPs resigned and Yingluck dissolved the House of Representatives the following day while also announcing the scheduling of a general election for 2 February 2014. The anti-government movement rejected the election in favour of an unelected "people's council" to oversee reforms, which has been criticized as fascist and anti-democratic.Anti-government protesters began an 'occupation' of Bangkok on 13 January 2014, blocking major road intersections in the centre of the city. Sporadic violence, including shootings, bomb attempts and grenades thrown at protesters led to further deaths and injuries over the following days. On 21 January the government declared a state of emergency in Bangkok and the surrounding areas, giving police additional powers amidst controversy over whether the general election should go ahead.On 26 January 2014, advance voting began, but was disrupted in areas of Bangkok and Southern Thailand by protesters blocking entry to polling stations, with 440,000 registered voters prevented from casting their ballots. The caretaker government publicly declared on 28 January 2014 that it was adamant that 2 February elections will proceed—the final nationwide turnout for the elections was 47.72 per cent.On 5 February 2014, the Criminal Court approved the Department of Special Investigation's (DSI) request for arrest warrants for 19 leading members of the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC). Warrants were sought on 10 February 2014 to enable the government to arrest 39 other protest leaders.On 21 March 2014, the Constitutional Court invalidated 2 February election on grounds that it was not completed within one day throughout the nation. The anti-government protesters said they will repeatedly disrupt the new elections until their aim to create an unelected people's council is accomplished.".
