(The Nation) - Hundreds of red shirts protesters block the Parliament on Wednesday, forcing some ministers and MPs to climb up over fences of the Parliament to escape from the protesters.
A television channel showed Tourism Minister Chumpol Silapa-archa, 70, used a ladder to climb over the fences (pictured).
Deputy PM Suthep Thaugsuban and some Democrat MPs were seen trapping inside the Parliament compound. It was reported that a helicopter would be sent in to lift him.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva who chaired the Cabinet meeting abruptly left the Parliament reportedly after learning that the protesters would march to his residence.
The Parliament was used as a venue of the weekly Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. The MPs also met in parliamentary session there when the protesters who moved from Pan Fah Bridge to the Parliament, blocked the entrances.
