Thailand's government has revoked the personal passport of ousted and exiled Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra following several days of demonstrations that paralyzed Bangkok, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said April 15.

Thaksin, whom the government accuses of stoking the recent protests, has been on the run since he fled the country ahead of a conviction on corruption charges last year. The move comes a day after protests led by Thaksin's supporters ended in the face of a mounting military crackdown. The demonstrations forced the cancellation of a major Asian summit, paralyzed the capital for days and left two dead and 123 injured before leaders called them off.

A state of emergency remained in place April 15 with soldiers continuing to patrol key intersections in the capital. (AP)
