About 5,000 protesters remained on the streets in downtown Bangkok in defiance of a government deadline to evacuate the area on another day of violent unrest in the Thai capital.<\/p>\n

At least 35 people have died since Thursday, including a key anti-government leader who was critically wounded by a sniper’s bullet last week.<\/p>\n

Maj. Gen. Khattiya Sawasdipol — a renegade general better known as Seh Daeng, which means Red Commander — died at 9:20 a.m. Monday (10:20 p.m. Sunday ET), Vachira Hospital officials told CNN.<\/p>\n

An airplane circling the demonstration area and a televised warning broadcast multiple times Monday ordered protesters to vacate the streets immediately.<\/p>\n

The announcement said those who did not leave by 3 p.m. (4 a.m. ET) would face a maximum sentence of two year’s imprisonment for violating the order. But government officials have not said what they plan to do now that the deadline has passed.<\/p>\n
