Reuters – Thailand’s army said on May 13 that 10 satellite television channels must stop broadcasting, including stations run by pro and anti-government groups, in order to “preserve peace and order”.

The army declared martial law earlier on May 13 to restore order after six months of anti-government protests.

“The army asks that satellite television channels stop broadcasting in order to prevent the distortion of news, which creates misunderstanding,” the army said in a televised statement.
