The despair and misery continues for over 99% of the Thai population as the ‘red shirt’ mob strives to destroy Bangkok and the valued social infrastructure of this once proud country

A State of Emergency has been declared by Prime Minister - Abhisit Vejjajiva

The premier Sunday afternoon declared a State of Emergency in the capital and five neighbouring provinces.

Effective immediately, the state of emergency is imposed in Bangkok, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, Nakhon Pathom and Ayutthaya provinces because a group of people are inciting unrest.

The actions of the ‘red shirts’ are in violation of the Laws of Thailand hence the Army Tanks have rolled on to the streets to restore Law and Order

To state simply what is actually going on!

Anarchy heading dangerously towards Mob Rule!

A sad, sorry and shameful day for the wonderful country of Thailand

The country and it’s people deserve better

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, appearing on the national television again on Sunday, called on the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) protesters to stop inciting unrest because the army is now ready to use force under the Emergency Decree.

In the afternoon, Mr Abhisit announced a state of emergency in Bangkok and five neighbouring provinces of Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, Nakhon Pathom and Ayutthaya, in an attempt to restore order quickly.

However, he said the anti-government protesters had been trying to create mayhem despite the enforcement of the decree.

He asked public members to remain calm, and assured them that the government would do anything to bring peace back to the country.

Private and public hospitals are prepared to look after injured people, should the decree be seriously implemented, the prime minister added.

Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, who is in charge of security affairs, called on police and army officers to strictly carry out the policy, and as the enforcer, he is ready to be responsible for the consequences.

The protesters are breaking the law by detaining and hurting state officials, including Prime Minister's secretary general Niphon Prompan, he said.
