Thai Turmoil

Thailand’s army has temporarily suspended the constitution and imposed a curfew, also ordering TV and radio stations to broadcast only army material. The proclaimed military coup follows months of political stalemate and turmoil.

Gatherings of more than five people are banned with one year prison term for violators. A 10pm to 5am curfew has been proclaimed.

CNN and the BBC are unavailable at the moment, users on Twitter said.

No internet censorship has been reported as of yet.

Shortly before the coup was announced, hundreds of soldiers gathered at Bangkok's Army Club and forcibly removed the leader of the protests against the pro-Thaskin government.

Thursday marks the country’s 19th such event in 82 years.
