In a move that demonstrates that there is hope yet for political stability, PM Abhisit lifted the two week old State of Emergency today. In related news, the Thai parliament is in session trying to come up with a solution. There have been talks of amnesty for those individuals banned from politics for political offenses. This is not great news for former PM Thaksin, as those convicted of criminal offenses will probably not be included in such an amnesty.
While I was in Singapore, one of the protest leaders from the yellow shirts, Sondhi Limthongkul, was shot while on the way to his radio show. The attempt on his life was unsuccessful, and Mr. Sondhi is currently hospitalized.
