A state of emergency, imposed in Thailand to quell violent anti-government protests, has been extended for another three months in 19 provinces, including the capital, over fears of fresh violence.
The emergency law was extended in Bangkok and much of the north and north-east on the recommendation of the Center for the Resolution of Emergency Situations.
At the same time, the government revoked the three-month-old decree in five other provinces -- Si Sa Ket, Nan, Kalasin, Nakhon Pathom and Nakhon Sawan -- saying security conditions there had improved.
Emergency law gives sweeping powers to the security forces and bans public gatherings of more than five people. Under the law, suspects can be detained for 30 days without charge.
Tourism and Sports Minister Chumpol Silpa-Acha said he did not expect the Cabinet decision would significantly affect the country's vital tourist industry.
A state of emergency was enforced in the capital and nearby provinces after anti-government demonstrators stormed the country's Parliament on April 7.
On May 19, the so-called 'Red Shirt' leaders called off the months-old violent anti-government demonstrations after a military crackdown killed several protesters and wounded others, including foreigners.
Several UDD leaders are in police custody on various charges, including breaking emergency law, terrorism and criticizing the monarchy.
The military operation was the government's last resort to break up the stand-off that paralyzed parts of Bangkok since March 12 as thousands of demonstrators have been vowing to continue the protests until Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva steps down, dissolves Parliament and calls fresh elections.
Abhisit, who had restrained for long calling on his political opponents to find a solution to the turmoil through negotiations, proposed a peace plan that dissolves the Parliament by September 30 and holds elections on November 14.
The protesters, mainly supporters of exiled former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, have been continuing the protests even after Abhisit yielded to their demands.
Abhisit backed out of his proposal, as the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) refused to leave its protest site, prompting authorities to announce a crackdown on the movement.
