In this Jan. 17, 2014 photo, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra answers questions during an interview with the foreign media at the office of Permanent Secretary for Defense on the outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand. From inside her “war room” in a temporary office at the Defense Ministry, Yingluck is watching television feeds of flag-waving protesters trying to bring down her government. The demonstrators have taken over key pockets of downtown Bangkok, blocking off their territory with sandbag walls guarded by supporters. They refuse to negotiate, and they’re trampling campaign billboards bearing her image amid increasing doubt that the election she called next month can be held. Yingluck can’t order a police crackdown for fear of triggering a military coup. And she is now facing a serious legal threat: the country’s anti-corruption commission announced this week it will probe her handling of a controversial rice policy, an investigation that could force her from office if it is successful.
