General Prayuth beauftragte Arbeitsgruppen für Wirtschafts- und Sicherheitsfragen, die die Situation in Provinzen oder Regionen, die bei ausländischen Touristen wie Phuket und Pattaya beliebt sind, einzuschätzen.... Wochenblitz

Die Lage in Thailand


Militär stellt Betrieb von 14 TV-Sendern ein


Bangkok - Geschäftsführer von zwei betroffenen TV-Sendern haben das Militär aufgefordert, ihre Entscheidung nochmals zu überdenken. Das Friedenskommando (POMC) hatte am Dienstag, dem ersten Tag des verhängten Kriegsrechts in Thailand, insgesamt 14 über Satelliten empfangbare TV-Stationen abgeschaltet.

Payungsak Charnduayvit, Senior-Geschäftsführer von VoiceTV, hatte sich mit einem Schreiben an Armeechef General Prayuth Chan-ocha gewandt und wollte eine Erklärung, weshalb seine Station verboten wurde.
"Wir haben uns immer an die Rundfunk-Regeln gehalten und unsere Berichterstattung transparent gestaltet. Es wurden nie die Tatsachen eines Berichts verzerrt um eine politische Spaltung zu erzeugen oder gar zur Gewalt aufzurufen", sagte er.....Wochenblitz

Mit dem Kriegsrecht regiert die Ungewissheit



Bangkok - Bei einem Krieg ist das erste Opfer die Wahrheit, heißt es. Diese alte Weisheit gilt natürlich auch nach einem Militärputsch oder nach Verhängung des Kriegsrechts.

Sicher ist nur, dass das Vorgehen der Armee in aller Heimlichkeit entschieden wurde. Weder Regierung noch Polizei wurden informiert, auch nicht die Chefs der anderen beiden Waffengattungen. Vermutlich wusste nur der innerste Zirkel um Armeechef Prayuth Chan-ocha bescheid.
