Lite Beer Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hollande condemns Thai coup, calls for elections PARIS, May 22, 2014 (AFP) - French President Francois Hollande Thursday condemned the army coup in Thailand and called for an immediate return to the rule of law. His reaction came after Thai army chief General Prayut Chan-O-Cha made the coup announcement in a televised address to the nation, after declaring martial law earlier this week. "The president condemns the seizure of power by the army in Thailand," a statement by Hollande's office said. Hollande called for "an immediate return to the constitutional order and for a vote to be organised" as well as the need "for the fundamental rights and freedoms of the Thai people to be respected." The coup came after months of political turmoil. The army banned gatherings of more than five people, summoned the ousted cabinet to report to the army and suspended the constitution -- except for the section related to the monarchy. -- (c) Copyright AFP 2014-05-22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lite Beer Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Britain 'concerned' by Thailand coup LONDON, May 22, 2014 (AFP) - Britain expressed concern Thursday over the coup in Thailand and urged all sides to work together, but stopped short of condemning the seizure of power by the military. The Foreign Office also urged tourists to follow travel advice after army chief General Prayut Chan-O-Cha announced the putsch on live TV, following months of political unrest. "We are concerned at the announcement of a military coup in Thailand and are following developments closely," the Foreign Office said in a statement to AFP. "We urge all sides to put aside their differences, and adhere to the values of democracy and the rule of law. This is clearly in the interests of the people of Thailand." The Foreign Office added that the "ongoing political instability and the continued violence undermine Thailand's democratic framework." French President Francois Hollande earlier condemned the coup but international reaction has otherwise been muted so far. -- (c) Copyright AFP 2014-05-22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
