PinkShirtPeaceProtest

Apr. 2, 2010 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Supporters of the Thai monarchy at a peace demonstration in Bangkok, Friday. Thousands of "Pink Shirts," who claim to be neither "Red Shirts" nor "Yellow Shirts" nicknames for Thailand's dueling political forces, gathered in Lumpini Park in central Bangkok Friday evening to call for "peace in the land," a play on the Red Shirts slogan, "Red in the Land." The "Pink Shirts" represented educators, business people and people in the tourist industry, all of which have been hurt by the ongoing political protests that have disrupted life in the Thai capital. The "Pink Shirts" stressed their loyalty to His Majesty Bhumibol Adulyadej, the King of Thailand, and chanted for the Red Shirts to "Get Out!" of Bangkok. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
