A demonstrator holds a portrait of exiled former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra during a rally outside the Government House in Bangkok October 17, 2009. Thailand's "red shirts" rallied this weekend to demand the government submit a petition seeking a royal pardon for Thaksin. The text on the portrait reads: "I won't forget the great support the red-shirts are giving me. 17 August 2009." REUTERS/Kerek Wongsa (THAILAND CONFLICT POLITICS IMAGES OF THE DAY)
