Bangkok on high alert after PM is removed

Thursday, 08 May, 2014 0

Bangkok is bracing for more turmoil after Thailand’s Constitutional Court removed caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and nine of her ministers from office.

The Constitutional Court ruled that Ms Yingluck acted illegally when she transferred her national security head.

There are fears the ruling will destabilise security in the capital with the People’s Democratic Reform Committee calling for a "final all-out battle" against the government on Friday (May 9).

The Nation newspaper said Thailand’s private sector is calling on both ends of the political-rally spectrum – anti- and pro-government – to hold compromise talks "for the sake of the country", instead of resorting to violence.
