"BANGKOK, Thailand (CNN) Anti-government protesters are celebrating an order by Thailand's constitutional court to dissolve the country's ruling party and ban the prime minister from politics for five years." Credit to CNN.com
"Tuesday's ruling follows months of opposition protests, including a week-old siege of Bangkok's international airport and sparked angry counter-protests by Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat's supporters outside the court. The court also banned at least one of the People Power Party's ruling coalition partners, effectively dismantling the government over allegations of vote-rigging." Credit to CNN.com
"Protesters were jubilant but vowed to keep up their blockade until convinced the ruling coalition would not simply return under another name. Members of the People's Alliance for Democracy, occupying Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi international airport, cheered and hugged on hearing the news." Credit to CNN.com
