ROUGH CUT (NO REPORT NARRATION)
STORY: Tens of thousands of Thai anti-government protesters rallied across Bangkok on Saturday (March 29) to reiterate their calls for a political reform before another general election.
The move was their latest bid to topple the Yingluck Shinawatra government after the Constitution Court nullified the February 2nd elections on March 21.
Waving flags and blowing whistles, protesters marched from Lumpini Park in the business district of Bangkok, where protesters retreated to earlier this month, to pay respect to the King Rama V's statue located in the city's old quarter.
Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban vowed to wipe clean corruption from Thaksin's regime and insisted that a political reform must happen before the next voting would take place.
Thailand has been in crisis since former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, Yingluck's brother, was ousted in a 2006 coup. The conflict broadly pits the Bangkok-based middle class and royalis
