Thailand’s embattled prime minister says that there are no plans to extend a state of emergency outside the capital, as police indicate they are working to censor coverage of the demonstrations.

Pro-democracy protesters wave the Thailand national flag as others shine their mobile phone lights during an anti-government protest in Bangkok, Thailand, Sunday, Oct. 18, 2020. Thai police on Sunday declined to say whether they were taking a softer approach toward student anti-government demonstrations, after several mass rallies attracting thousands of protesters ended peacefully in Bangkok on Saturday.

Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha's government has already issued a decree that bans public gatherings of more than four people in Bangkok, outlaws news said to affect national security and gives authorities broad power to detain people. Deputy police spokesman Kissana Phataracharoen confirmed that police are forwarding a request to the appropriate agencies to take action against information providers that give what he called “distorted information” that can cause unrest and confusion in society.

The order, dated Oct. 16 and signed by the chief of police, calls for blocking access to the online sites of Voice TV, The Reporters, The Standard, Prachatai, and Free Youth, and removing their existing content. It also proposes a ban on Voice TV’s over-the-air digital broadcasts. “Bona fide journalists should be allowed to report important developments without the threat of bans, suspensions, censorship or prosecution hanging over them,” the club said in a statement.
