BANGKOK (AP) — Protest leaders in Thailand were indicted Thursday for storming the prime minister’s office compound and sealing off Parliament during massive anti-government rallies in 2008 at the height of political turmoil, which left the country deeply divided to this day.

Prosecutors filed charges against Sondhi Limthongkul, Chamlong Srimuang and other leaders of the People’s Alliance for Democracy, also known as the Yellow Shirts.
