Curfew lifted in Bangkok
Thailand’s prime minister has lifted a night-time curfew in Bangkok and other areas that was imposed after violence erupted in the capital, an aide said today.
Aide Sirichoke Sopha said Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva would not extend the curfew in Bangkok and 23 provinces.
The curfew was imposed after a military crackdown dispersed anti-government “Red Shirt” protesters from the heart of Bangkok last week, leaving more than a dozen dead and injuring nearly 200.
