2006 Thai Coup d'Etat

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The 2006 Thai coup d' tat took place on Tuesday 19 September 2006, when the Royal Thai Army staged a coup d' tat against the elected caretaker government of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. The coup d' tat, which was Thailand's first non-constitutional change of government in fifteen years, followed a year-long political crisis involving Thaksin, his allies and political opponents and occurred less than a month before nation-wide House elections were originally scheduled to be held. It has been widely reported in Thailand and elsewhere that General Prem Tinsulanonda, Chairman of the Privy Council was the mastermind of the Coup. The military cancelled the upcoming elections, abrogated the Constitution, dissolved Parliament and Constitutional Court, banned protests and all political activities, suppressed and censored the media, declared martial law nationwide, and arrested Cabinet members.
