MartialLaw

20 MAY 2104 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Thai soldiers guard the Army Club, the venue for meetings between the Thai Army and civilian politicians after the army declared 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
