Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) -- She calls herself "Aim." She is 43 years old and has two children, one a teenager, the other seven years old. She has a smile on her face even though she is sitting outside in air so thick with humidity and heat that it's hard to breath.
She seems like a regular working mom until you ask her about the government's announcement it was about to crack down and move the Red Shirt protesters out of the swanky area they have occupied for more than five weeks in Bangkok.

"If they do I would like them to kill me. I am not afraid." Aim said. "I want to die."

She will die for a cause her children do not understand she said. "We want democracy, I support Thaksin." Aim said referring to Thailand's former Prime Minister who fled the country after a bloodless coup. He is wanted on corruption charges. Most of the Red Shirt protesters are his supporters and don't believe the charges are true.
