Thailand invokes emergency laws before rally

Updated - 10/3/2010 - bbc.co.uk.

 

The Thai government has announced that it will invoke the Internal Security Act from 11-23 March, in Bangkok and seven surrounding provinces.

The move comes ahead of a planned march by "red shirt" opposition protesters.

They are mainly supporters of the former prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a military coup in 2006.

They say they plan to rally until the current coalition government calls new elections.

The ISA puts the military in charge, with powers to impose curfews, restrict numbers at gatherings and man check points if they deem such measures necessary.

Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has cancelled a planned trip to Australia.

Fears and loathing

The last time the act was invoked was during the meeting of the regional grouping Asean held in Thailand last October - after an earlier attempt to host Asean in April was derailed by red shirt protests.
