Cabinet to consider imposing Internal Security Act on Phuket during Asian meeting
The Cabinet will today determine a proposal to impose Internal Security Act on Phuket during upcoming Asian ministerial meeting which will be attended by US Secretary of State.
An informed source said Tuesday that the Act, if approved, will give authority to Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc), which is chaired by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, to be responsible for the regional meeting's security.
The imposing will put Phuket under the act from July 10 to 24.
The Asian foreign ministers' meeting is scheduled to be held from July 16 to 23. It was postponed twice after red shirted protesters broke into the meeting's nearby building in Pattaya in April.
The Phuket meeting will be attended by ministers of 26 countries including US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
