At least 26 people have been killed and nearly 1,000 wounded since protesters known as the Red Shirts – who view the government as illegitimate – began occupying parts of Bangkok in mid-March, closing down five-star hotels and shopping malls and devastating the country’s vital tourism industry. The government has not given a clear statement of how it plans to end the standoff after rejecting a Red Shirt compromise proposal to disband parliament within 30 days instead of immediately. In his interview with CNN, recorded Monday, Abhisit said he could not disband...
