Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) -- Three anti-government protest leaders evaded Thai security authorities after forces surrounded a Bangkok hotel Friday.
In a bold escape, the men were lowered from a third-floor window and fled in a waiting truck as security forces searched the hotel. Police said two officers left with them to carry out negotiations -- a development officials with the protesters confirmed.
As government forces surround the hotel, Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thuagsuban announced that "regular" demonstrators had been infiltrated by "terrorists" with clear intention to do harm. He called on the innocent demonstrators to separate themselves from the terrorists and not be used as human shields.
