Thai government declares 60-day state of emergency in Bangkok

BANGKOK, Jan 21 – The Emergency Decree will be invoked in Bangkok and parts of outlying provinces, effective for 60 days starting tomorrow, in a strengthened attempt to deal with protesters who have been involved in anti-government rallies for almost three months.

The decision came after a spate of violent attacks which killed nine people and injured several hundreds since the protest began in early November.
