Ifølge rygter er den røde Tv station lukket, lige som den røde protestlejr er ryddet og folk sendt hjem, Politiet skulle nu være underlagt hærens kommando
The Royal Thai Army on Tuesday declared martial law across the crisis-gripped kingdom to restore order following months of anti-government protests that have left 28 people dead and hundreds wounded.
The military statement was signed by army chief Gen. Prayuth Chan-Ocha. It cited a 1914 law that gives it authority to intervene during times of crisis, and said it had taken the action because on-going mass rallies between political rivals "could impact the country's security and safety of the lives and properties of the public."
An announcement broadcast on army-run TV Channel 5 said martial law had been invoked "to restore peace and order for people from all sides", stressing that the move "is not a coup".
"The public do not need to panic but can still live their lives as normal," it added.
The army said in a statement that the military had taken the action to ``keep peace and order'' and soldiers entered several private television stations in the capital.
An army official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, told the US news agency, The Associated Press, "This is definitely not a coup. This is only to provide safety to the people and the people can still carry on their lives as normal."
The army has staged 11 successful coups since the 1932 revolution.
