BANGKOK, December 10. /ITAR-TASS /. Acting Prime Minister of Thailand Yingluck Shinawatra exhorted justice from demonstrators that continue street protests in Bangkok.

“I plea for justice. We have already retreated,” Shinawatra said, speaking after a cabinet meeting, which was held Tuesday morning in the campus owned by Thai Army. The oppositionists staged another rally near the place of the government’s meeting.

Yingluck Shinawatra’s speech was very short and emotional. Tears could be seen in her eyes. She said she would not leave her post until February 2, when the country would have early election to the National Assembly.
