Thailand imposes tough security law ahead of protests
Thailand imposed a tough security law on Tuesday, giving authorities broad powers to control a street rally in Bangkok by nationalist "yellow shirt" protesters who have threatened to occupy government offices.
The Internal Security Act (ISA) allows authorities to impose curfews, operate checkpoints, restrict movements of protesters and act fast if rallies by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) turn violent or if they try to seize buildings. (Reuters)
