Some 10,000 PAD supporters remained in the govt compound Wednesday morning with 15 protesters slightly injured in pre-dawn clashes.
Hundreds of riot police reportedly clashed with PAD protesters briefly when they were changing shift inside Government House at 3am Wednesday. Police later backed off from the confrontation and established themselves inside the compound.
According to PAD coordinator Suriyasai Katasila, injured protesters had cuts on their arms and heads.
Despite the clash, the protesters stayed in the compound in an attempt to force Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej and cabinet members to resign.
"If we leave before this government resigns, that means we are defeated," PAD core leader Chamlong Srimuang told supporters.
Hundreds of riot police remained in their positions around the compound in the morning.
"We will not disperse the crowd, instead we want to negotiate," Deputy Police spokesman Maj Gen Surapol Tuanthong said.
Police investigators, meanwhile, headed to the Criminal Court to ask for arrest warrants for six key PAD members.
It is expected that the court would issue the warrants today.
