About 2,000 anti-government protesters rallied Thursday in front of the foreign ministry to demand that authorities strip ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his wife of their passports.
The protesters led by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) marched under a banner showing pictures of Thaksin and his wife Pojaman, emblazoned with the words "Most Wanted." Thaksin and his family went into exiles in England and are in the process of seeking asylum there.
Thaksin owns England's Manchester City Football Club.
PAD's leader Sondhi Limthongkul said, "We demand the foreign minister and the foreign ministry immediately revoke every type of passport belonging to Thaksin and Pojaman, who are criminal fugitives."
Foreign Minister Tej Bunnag said earlier that his ministry is ready to revoke diplomatic passports of Thaksin and Pojaman.
Another PAD leader, Somsak Kosaisuk said, "Thaksin is a criminal who is avoiding an arrest warrant issued by the court. Why can he still have all kinds of passports."
The protesters held a similar rally Tuesday in front of the British embassy to demand that London send the couple home to stand trial.
