Thai television showed demonstrators from the right-wing People's Alliance for Democracy on the lawns of the compound at Government House. Earlier, armed Alliance protesters stormed a state-run television station and briefly forced it off the air. Police reportedly arrested some 80 people during the protest. The Alliance claims that Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej is running Thailand on behalf of ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 coup and is barred from holding office. Police say escalating protests have attracted at least 10,000 people to the streets.
