Thai anti-government protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban has announced the operation to paralyze the capital Bangkok, which has lasted from Jan. 13, will be ended on March 3.

He said Protesters will withdraw from all rally sites in the city except the one at the Lumpini Park, adding all future activities will be moved to the park.

The shutdown operation, during which a number of government offices and major intersections¹ have been besieged² or occupied, has been aimed at pressuring caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to step down. Yingluck has repeatedly and categorically rejected the request.
