.....The BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok says there is no question the pro-Thaksin protesters broke the law.
But, our correspondent adds, the problem is that Mr Abhisit rode to power on the back of protests that were just as illegal, and the PM may look hypocritical if he only goes after the red-shirted protesters who embarrassed him. ............

BANGKOK (AP) - Thailand's humiliated government arrested the leader of protesters who shut down a 16-nation Asian summit, and the prime minister vowed
further crackdowns as the demonstrators regrouped in the capital for renewed rallies Sunday.
Arisman Pongruengrong, who spearheaded Saturday's demonstrations, was taken into custody and detained at the headquarters of Thailand's Border Patrol Police on Bangkok's outskirts, police Maj. Gen. Supon Pansua said.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva earlier Sunday vowed swift legal action against the protesters who stormed the venue of an East Asian Summit in the beach resort of Pattaya. Abhisit spoke on national television as fears mounted that the country could face violence or a military crackdown in coming days.
Jakrapob Penkair, another protest leader, said members of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship were gathering around Government House, the prime minister's office, which has been the prime focus of their demonstrations demanding Abhisit's resignation.
Several hundred of the red-shirted protesters also rallied outside the downtown headquarters of the Royal Thai Police and at the Criminal Court, where they believe Arisman would be taken after interrogation.
The demonstrators say Abhisit's four-month-old government took power illegitimately and want fresh elections. They also accuse the country's elite _ the military, judiciary and other unelected officials _ of undermining democracy by interfering in politics............
