The Thai government decreed a state of emergency on Sunday in Bangkok wracked by demonstrations.
On Sunday, thousands of demonstrators defied a state of emergency imposed in Bangkok where armed soldiers were deployed on the streets.
The tension worsened on Sunday with the arrest of the demonstration leader in Pattaya, the former pop singer Arisma Pongreungrong. Later the state of emergency was declared in and around Bangkok.
In Bangkok, anti-government demonstrators erected barricades and seized an armored vehicle. Violence left at least six injured according to emergency personnel.
