In Thailand, the red-shirted protesters have begun donating blood to throw at government offices in a ritual curse of a leadership they say is illegitimate. The protests enter a third day in a still jovial but determined mood. Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva yesterday rejected a demand from protesters to quit and call elections.The standoff is the latest in a deep political division in the country which pre-dates the 2006 military coup which deposed Thaksin Shinawatra.Red Shirt leader Veera Musikapong and other leaders said their blood would be spilled at the entrance to Government House in Bangkok's historic quarters today, if Mr Abhisit continued to refuse their demands to dissolve parliament.
