As a precaution, use of the Internal Security Act (ISA) has not been completely ruled out and may be invoked immediately if the situation turns violent during the anti-government rally of the Pitak Siam group on Nov 24 and 25, National Security Council (NSC) secretary-general Paradorn Pattanathabutr said.

Lt-Gen Paradorn said after an NSC meeting on Monday afternoon that ordinary laws would be initially enforced.

"As of today, ordinary laws will still be mainly used. However, as a precaution, if the situation turns violent the ISA can be invoked immediately.

D5 : You seem to have great difficulties with logic. M-79 grenades were launched at PAD while they camped in BKK,before the coup. Seh Daeng,the red general,made precise predictions a day or two in advance of each and every attack. Just as he did in the 2009-2010 red insurgency. Since his death,no more attacks with M-79 has been carried out. And none during the PTP led governments tenure. Makes one wonder,eh?

What ever became of Given the Democrat MP who was allegedly involved in the killing of Udorn Kraiwatnussorn, president of Samut Sakorn's provincial administrative organization.

Kanchit, 41, is currently an opposition MP representing the same province and son of former cabinet member Anek Tabsuwan.

Udorn, 49, was a son of former cabinet member Monton Kraiwatnussorn and brother of ex-MP Udom Kraiwatnussorn. He was shot at point-blank range by a lone gunman at a gas station in an urban area of Samut Sakorn.

#4, before the grenades and the Men in black came in the 2010 events, i predicted to everybody around me this kind of provocation. Easy, all the dictatorships use it. I was not surprised by the method. If, really, it came from the Red shirts, ask you why it stopped after the Gvt won? Too incoherent and the history will talk soon.

'The ISA would be declared only in the event of a violent incident - such as a hand grenade being hurled into the group of protesters'.

And who would be throwing that ? More likely to be an RPG. More of the same (2010) from the self declared peaceful demonstrators who are in reality a violent mob that cannot tolerate opposing views.

Journalism ethics and standards comprise principles of ethics and of good practice as applicable to the specific challenges faced by journalists. Historically and currently, this subset of media ethics is widely known to journalists as their professional "code of ethics" or the "canons of journalism". The basic codes and canons commonly appear in statements drafted by both professional journalism associations and individual print, broadcast, and online news organizations.

While various existing codes have some differences, most share common elements including the principles of — truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness
