Thousands of people stage a violent protest as they voiced outrage over what they claimed were rigged elections, forcing police to fire gunshots, in Ulan Bator on July 01, 2008. The headquarters of the former communist Mongolian People?s Revolutionary Party in the centre of Ulan Bator was set alight and looted, as some 6,000 protesters from the rival Democratic Party, which claims the MPRP bought votes and used other tactics to win the election, threw rocks at firefighters who arrived to put out the blaze.
