"Even though the other head of the, even within the martial law, there are many sections that allow us to enforce it to everyone. We are minimize that as much as we can, however, it is our duty to strictly enforce the law. Following the announcement for those to report to the national peace and order maintenance council, we are calling once again for them to report if they still do not come, we will do that law enforcement," said Thai military spokesman.

The army seized power on Thursday and ordered the arrests of former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and her family. The military says they will be held for no longer than a week. Despite international calls for the restoration of a democratic government, the head of the army, General Prayuth Chan-ocha, says there won’t be a return to civil rule anytime soon.

He says that can only happen after broad reforms have been introduced, and the country has returned to stability. Under its new administration, the military has banned gatherings of more than five people, censored the media, and imposed a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew. On Friday, several hundred people gathered at a central Bangkok shopping district in what appeared to be a protest against the takeover.
