Mar. 27, 2010 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Thai police officers, who are supposed to control the Red Shirts protests, applaud, photograph and cheer for the Red Shirts as they march through Bangkok Saturday, March 27. More than 80,000 members of the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), also known as the "Red Shirts" and their supporters marched through central Bangkok March 27 during a series of protests against and demand the resignation of current Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and his government. The protest is a continuation of protests the Red Shirts have been holding across Thailand. They support former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was deposed in a coup in 2006 and went into exile rather than go to prison after being convicted on corruption charges. Thaksin is still enormously popular in rural Thailand. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
