Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) -- Anti-government protesters launched a blood drive Tuesday to collect enough samples to douse the ministers' offices.
The dramatic gesture is the latest move by the anti-government United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) to force Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to dissolve parliament and call new elections.
Thousands of "red shirts" -- so named for their clothing -- held out their forearms to allow their compatriots to draw blood.
The protesters intended to collect 1,000 liters (1 million cubic centimeters) and then throw the blood on the grounds of the Government House, which houses ministerial offices, at 6 p.m. (7 a.m. ET).
