Thai protesters force PM to flee election meeting
泰國抗議者強迫總理離開選舉會議
Riot police stand guard in front of an air force compound. Inside Thailand's acting prime minister is meeting with the Election Commission to fix a date for a new election. The meeting however was cut short as hundreds of protesters seeking to oust the government streamed through a side entrance of the compound forcing the premier and other ministers to leave. This is the latest disruption in setting up polls that the government hopes will break six months of political stalemate. They had put off talks at another venue a day earlier because of security fears. The government sees a general election as the best way out of a crisis. But some protesters disagree.
防暴警察在一座空軍建筑外守護著。在里面，泰國代理總理正在與選舉委員會召開會議，確定新選舉的日期。然而，由于試圖推翻政府的數百名抗議者通過側門進入建筑，迫使總理和其他部長離開，會議被打斷。這是政府希望能夠打破六個月的政治僵局的選舉確立過程又一次被擾亂。此前一天，出于安全隱患，他們推遲了在另一地點舉行的會談。政府認為大選是走出危機的最佳方式。但是一些抗議者不贊同。
(SOUNDBITE)(Thai) UNIDENTIFIED PROTESTER SAYING: "They don't have any rights to set up an election. It depends on the people, they have to ask the people. The government talked about their duty but they never asked about the people who died. They never asked and never mentioned it."
未透露姓名的抗議者：“他們沒有任何權利舉行選舉。一切取決于民眾，他們必須詢問民眾的意愿。政府總是談論自己的責任，但是他們從未問過因此而犧牲的民眾的意愿。他們從未問過，也從未提過。”
Three people were killed and at least 21 wounded in an explosion near an anti-government protest site. It was the most serious incident in long-running protests since five people were killed and dozens wounded in clashes on February 18, when police made their most determined effort to clear demonstrators.
一個反政府抗議地點附近發生爆炸事件，3人死亡，至少21人受傷。這是自2月18日警方清理示威者最強勢的行動造成5人死亡，數十人受傷以來，持續已久的抗議活動中最嚴重的事故。
