20 DECEMBER 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: An anti-government protestor holds up a sign protesting alleged foreign intervention in the Thai anti-government protest movement. Anti-government protestors allege that foreign countries are supporting the government by endorsing elections. Thousands of anti-government protestors, supporters of the so called Peoples Democratic Reform Committee (PRDC), jammed the Silom area, the "Wall Street" of Bangkok, Friday as a part of the ongoing protests against the caretaker government of Yingluck Shinawatra. Yingluck dissolved the Thai Parliament earlier this month and called for national elections on Feb. 2, 2014. The protestors want the elections postponed and the caretaker government to step down. The Thai election commission ruled Friday that the election would go on dispite the protests. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
