Sondhi Shot

Sondhi Limthongkul, the leader of the Thai "yellow shirt" protest movement was shot this morning in Bangkok. He survived with minor injuries.
This picture was taken during his campaign to bring down then-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
Last week the red-shirted supporters of Thaksin paralysed Bangkok with demonstrations and fights with the security forces.
