FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Thai army says 155 prominent political figures are banned from leaving the country without permission.
The announcement was made on Friday following a coup in the Asian country, which has sparked an international outcry.
Thailand’s new military junta also summoned dozens of figures from both sides of the political divide. Former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who was removed from power in a controversial court ruling earlier this month, and her successor Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan are among those summoned.
The development came a day after the army chief General Prayuth Chan-ocha said in an address to the nation that the armed forces have seized power, adding that the act was necessary to restore stability after months of political deadlock and turmoil.
The “National Peace Keeping” commission would now take control of the country’s administration, he noted.
The military coup leaders said on the same day that the national constitution has been suspended, in a move which drew rebukes from the US, Europe and the UN, who all called for civilian rule to be restored.
Thailand has been the scene of a political crisis since the 2006 military coup that deposed Yingluck’s elder brother Thaksin Shinawatra, a billionaire tycoon-turned-populist politician who clashed with the then royalist establishment.
The army held power for over a year after the coup and since then, a power bloc centered on Thaksin’s family has fought for primacy with a Bangkok-based royalist camp closely tied to the military.
Democratic development in Thailand has been interrupted by 19 actual or attempted coups since 1932.
