THAILAND-POLITICS-PROTEST

An anti-government protester uses a traffic cone as a megaphone to speak to colleagues at a distance, near the Government House in Bangkok on December 7, 2013. The leader of mass opposition protests that have shaken the Thai capital called Friday for a last-ditch effort to topple the government, vowing to surrender to the authorities if the action fails. With turnout dwindling after more than a month of rolling ralliesand violence that left five people dead and more than 200 injured, the former deputy premier spearheading the movement gave the first indication that he might concede defeat unless enough people join the protest on Monday, describing it as "judgment day".
