The centre said on Tuesday morning that the 276 patients were being treated in 17 hospitals, with 201 of them in Phramongkutklao hospital.

There were 21 deaths - 17 civilians, including a foreign reporter, and four soldiers - with 863 others injured in the political riot in Bangkok last Saturday.

Autopsies on 11 victims revealed that nine of the dead red-shirts were killed by bullets to the head or chest, it was announced on Monday.
