An anti-government protester reads a newspaper during a gathering Thursday, May 22, 2014 in Bangkok, Thailand. Journalists and rights groups have criticized the army for primarily targeting the press rather than protesters, underscoring the precarious state of press freedom in Thailand in the wake of Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha's unexpected declaration of martial law this week and his decision Thursday to take control of the government. Of the 12 edicts issued Tuesday by the newly formed Peace and Order Maintaining Command, the military committee set up to oversee the army intervention, at least five concern media censorship.

In this , Tuesday, April 1, 2014 photo made available Thursday, April 3, 2014, a crewman on a Royal New Zealand Air Force P-3 Orion Rescue Flight 795 searches for debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, in southern Indian Ocean, 1,500 kilometers northwest of Perth, Australia. The focus of the search has changed repeatedly in the nearly four weeks since the air traffic controllers lost contact with the Boeing 777 between Malaysia and Vietnam over the South China Sea. It began in the South China Sea, then shifted toward the Malacca Strait to the west, where Malaysian officials eventually confirmed that military radar had detected the plane.

In this photo taken Monday, Jan. 27, 2014, local monk protest leader Luang Pu Buddha Issara, center, listens to high level police officers asking him to leave the neighboring government building to Bangkok, Thailand. Some government officials have resorted to pleading with protests occupying their government offices where daily functions such as passport controls and immigration issues are backing up. It was an extraordinarily humbling moment for Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's embattled administration, which ascended to power following a landslide election two and a half years ago.

In this photo taken January 15, 2014, anti-government protesters gather during a rally at Ratchabrasong intersection in Bangkok, Thailand. The protest led by former deuty prime minister Suthep Thaugsuban, the movement that has itself blocked roads and broken into government offices, an extraordinary role reversal that underscores not only the cyclical nature of Thai politics, but the total lack of progress toward bridging a political divide that has plagued the country for nearly a decade.
