BANGKOK (AP) ? Protesters have blocked the Thai Parliament to prevent debate on a contentious bill they fear could allow deposed ex-leader Thaksin Shinawatra to return from exile.
About 2,000 people from the so-called Yellow Shirt movement that opposes Thaksin blocked roads Friday leading to Parliament. They denied entry to most lawmakers scheduled to discuss the so-called reconciliation bill.
The bill would grant amnesty to all parties involved in political violence and wrongdoing from the end of 2005 through mid-2010, when Thailand was wracked by political turmoil.
