Anti-government protestors in Thailand are calling for a major rally this Sunday in a renewed push to oust the government, a call that comes after one person was killed and more than 20 injured by an explosion in the compound the protesters have been occupying for almost three months.

The People's Alliance for Democracy stormed the government house compund in August and have maintained a constant protest ever since. They're demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat who they say is a proxy for ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
