Thai Military Imposes Martial Law

HeadlineMay 20, 2014

Thailand’s military has imposed martial law after months of anti-government protests. The protesters have blocked elections and called for the ouster of a caretaker government installed after Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was removed by a court earlier this month. Soldiers have blocked off streets in the capital Bangkok, and at least 10 TV stations have been ordered to shut down. The army has denied its efforts constitute a coup.
