MartialLaw

20 MAY 2104 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A Thai special operations soldier guards the entrance to the Army Club in Bangkok after the declaration of martial law. Thai army generals called members of Thai society to the Army Club to give them instructions on how to proceed during martial law. The Thai Army declared martial law throughout Thailand in response to growing political tensions between anti-government protests led by Suthep Thaugsuban and pro-government protests led by the "Red Shirts" who support ousted Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. Despite the declaration of martial law, daily life went on in Bangkok in a normal fashion. There were small isolated protests against martial law, which some Thais called a coup, but there was no violence. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
