What is Happening in Thailand?

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

Thailand's military has declared martial law. This follows months of protests and increasing tensions in the country. Both pro and anti-government protesters have been told not to march anywhere in order to prevent clashes. The army says this will allow it to 'preserve martial law' and this is not a coup.
