Thai demonstrators continued their anti-government protest. They're demanding the resignation of the King's top advisor.

Hundreds of red-shirt protesters demanded privy councilor Prem Tingsulanonda resign. They're accusing Prem of orchestrating a 2006 coup that toppled former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

Prem denies any involvement in the coup and remained inside his home while police and soldiers stood guard in the streets and within the compound's walls.

The protesters also say Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva took power illegitimately and should step aside and call fresh elections.
