Supporters hold pictures of ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra as they celebrate being branded as "red" in the village of Suan Mo, near Udon Thani in northeastern Thailand June 25, 2011. Regional leaders of Thailand's red-shirt protest movement held a traditional Buddhist ceremony to launch 38 villages to be designated as the "Red Shirt Village of Democracy". The red shirts, supporters of Thaksin, have been branding hundreds of villages as red to rally behind Thaksin's sister, Yingluck, who is leading the opposition ahead of July 3 general elections.
