BANGKOK (Reuters) - Head down, arms spread, one man pushes with all his strength against rows of Thai riot police behind their shields.

The Reuters image of the night of Oct. 16, when police tried to use force to disperse protesters, has become one of the most widely published of months of demonstrations to call for the ousting of the government and reforms to the powerful monarchy.
