2010年5月19日,泰国曼谷中央世界商厦前因骚乱破损的国旗和雕像。“红衫军”2010年3月至5月在曼谷举行大规模集会,要求阿披实政府提前解散议会并举行大选。
A statue and a torn Thai national flag remain in front of Bangkok's Central World shopping mall, which was gutted by fire after army soldiers advanced towards an encampment of thousands of anti-government "red shirt" protesters, May 19, 2010. From March to May 2010, a prolonged series of political protests occurred in Bangkok, Thailand. Repeated negotiations between the anti-government ‘Red Shirt’ protesters and the government failed to set an election date. In April the ‘Red Shirts’ seized the most popular shopping district in the capital. On May 19, 2010 the Army was sent in to clear their encampment. By the time it was all over, thousands were left injured, over 80 killed and Bangkok was left burning.
