(BangkokPost.com)– Gen Sonthi Boonyaratkalin is expected to tackle an important issue that is still the subject of contention.
The deputy prime minister in charge of security will hold talks with the office of the National Security Council on Friday to discuss the possible lifting of martial law in a small number of provinces still under military rule.
"We are hoping to revoke martial law especially in areas that are not sharing its border with Laos and Cambodia," said Gen Sonthi. “We are hoping that only 26-27 provinces will remain under martial law of the 35 which are currently under military rule.”
“Of course, the major factors that will determine whether martial law can be revoked include security issues and drugs trafficking.
