“Thailand is to lift its state of emergency on Wednesday 19th March, as tensions ease following weeks of anti-government protests.Officials say the emergency decree will be replaced by the Internal Security Act.
The 60-day emergency decree, imposed on 22 January in Bangkok and surrounding provinces, gave the government wide-ranging powers to deal with disorder.
The protesters, who began their campaign in November, accused the government of being run by ousted former leader Thaksin Shinawatra, Ms Yingluck's brother.
At the height of the demonstrations, protesters shut down key road junctions in Bangkok and blockaded government ministries.
Numbers have fallen in recent weeks, however, and the protesters are now mainly occupying a city-centre park.” - Source BBC, Tuesday 18th March 2014.
