| Abhisit to curb protests |
| 2009-07-01 |
| [Straits Times] THAI premier Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Tuesday he would invoke a harsh internal security act to prevent protests at a regional summit in Phuket which US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is due to attend. The move comes after an incident in April when anti-government protesters loyal to ousted former premier Thaksin Shinawatra forced the chaotic cancellation of a major Asian summit in the Thai resort of Pattaya. |
