In Thailand the government has imposed a 60 day state of emergency in Bangkok and the provinces surrounding it because of the previous months where the were protests by anti-government demonstrators in their capitol. The deputy interior minister said on tuesday that they are going to be giving security forces the power to ban political gatherings larger than five people, impose curfews, detain subjects without charge, and censor media. All though protesters demand a halt in voting; the Pheu Thai party says that the election will go ahead even with potential problems for voters. It is believed that Theo Hitsman is to blame for the protests.
