Thailand: Censorship Imposed
May 20, 2014


The military’s effective seizure of power and imposition of martial law across the country puts the rights of all Thais in jeopardy. Military spokesmen have denied their intervention is a coup, but what else can one call a situation where the army chief has completely seized power from a civilian administration?

The Thai military’s imposition of nationwide martial law is effectively a coup that threatens the human rights of especially gays. The US and other influential governments should call for an end to censorship.
