Emergency decree in insurgency-plagued far South extended
BANGKOK, Oct 14 (TNA) - The cabinet on Tuesday decided to extend the
emergency decree imposed in Thailand's three restive southern border
provinces – Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat -- for another three months, a government spokesman said.
Nattawut Saikuea told a press conference in the Thai capital that the
emergency decree, which will be extended from October 20 to January 19, is
still needed there to allow law enforcement officials to do their job.
The emergency decree has now been extended for the 13th time. On each
occasion it lasts only three months.
To date, over 3,500 people have been killed since the violence resumed in
the three southernment provinces in early January 2004. (TNA)
