Protesters in Thailand stormed a satellite TV facility in a Bangkok suburb, breaking through the military cordon, Thailand's TV-7 said.
The so-called red shirts stormed the satellite TV facility demanding the resumption of broadcasting of United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) TV channel.
The protestors were met with water cannons and tear gas. Thai Nation's website said 10 people were injured in the incident.
Bangkok was hit by mass protests by the opposition demanding the resignation of Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, the dissolution of parliament and the holding of new elections.
A series of protests in Thailand started in March 2009 after the government offered 9 million low-paid Thai workers assistance worth $55 per head to stimulate the economy. Protestors called the aid "bribery," accused the Cabinet of coming to power illegally and demanded that Vejjajiva step down.
