14 JULY 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A man carries signs comparing Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to a crab. The signs are a play on words because Yingluck's nickname is "Pu" and pu is also the Thai word for crab. About 150 members of the so called "White Mask" movement marched through the central shopping district of Bangkok Sunday to call for the resignation of Yingluck Shinawatra, the Prime Minister of Thailand. The White Mask protesters are strong supporters of the Thai monarchy. They claim that Yingluck is acting as a puppet for her brother, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was deposed by a military coup in 2006 and now lives in exile in Dubai.
