Sonthi: Martial law to remain after election
Sonthi: Martial law to remain after election




(BangkokPost.com) - Council for National Security chairman Sonthi Boonyaratkalin said Friday martial law will remain in effect in parts of the country even after the December general election.

"Martial law will remain to help security officials crack down on drugs and illegal entry, not for political purposes," Gen Sonthi told reporters.

Martial law was imposed across Thailand a day after the Sept 19 coup. Currently, it remains in 35 provinces, mostly in the Northern and Northeastern regions which are the stronghold of the now-defunct Thai Rak Thai party.

The government is likely to lift martial law in 11 provinces next week and reintroduce it in three northeastern provinces.

"Martial law will remain in force in 27 provinces, but is not aimed at obstructing political activities. It is to ensure national security," Gen Sonthi said.

CNS spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd said early this week the CNS will ask the government to lift martial law in Kamphaeng Phet, Nong Bua Lam Phu, Udon Thani, Khon Kaen, Chaiyaphum, Nakhon Ratchasima, Roi Et, Maha Sarakham, Phetchaburi, Ratchaburi and Prachuap Khiri Khan.
At the same time, it suggested that martial law be reimposed in Nakhon Phanom, Nong Khai and Mukdahan, where it had been lifted in January.

The junta in January lifted martial law in 41 out of 76 provinces including Bangkok, but it remains in force in 35 other provinces, including Thaksin's northern stronghold and the country's restive Muslim-majority south.

The government is likely to lift martial law in eight provinces next week, he added.

'Martial law will remain in force in 27 provinces, but is not aimed at obstructing political activities. It is to ensure national security,' Sonthi said.

Political parties and pro-democracy groups have urged the junta to lift martial law, warning that losers in the elections could cite the military restrictions to challenge the outcome of the vote.
