The Thai Prime Minister said Thursday that the government is to lift a state of emergency imposed in six provinces but not in the capital, more than two months after the end of mass anti-government protests in Bangkok.
The PM Abhisit Vejjajiva said he would revoke the emergency laws in Chonburi, Ayutthaya, Nong Bua Lam Phu, Maha Sarakham, Mukdahan and Chaiyaphum in central and northeastern Thailand on the advice of security officials.
The emergency laws, which ban public gatherings of more than five people and give security forces the right to detain suspects for 30 days without charge, will remain in place in 10 provinces, out of a total of 76.
