09 JUNE 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A White Mask protester holds up a photo of Bhumibol Adulyadej, the King of Thailand, during an anti-government protest. The White Mask protesters are ultra royalists who support the King and wear the Guy Fawkes mask popularized by the movie "V for Vendetta" and the protest groups Anonymous and Occupy. Several hundred members of the White Mask movement gathered on the plaza in front of Central World, a large shopping complex at the Ratchaprasong Intersection in Bangkok, to protest against the government of Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. They say that her government is corrupt and is a "puppet" of ousted (and exiled) former PM Thaksin Shinawatra. Thaksin is Yingluck's brother. She was elected in 2011 when her brother endorsed her.
