In a national address broadcast last night, Gen Prayut said the government is prepared to revoke the state of emergency in Bangkok unless the situation worsens. Gen Prayut said every party must take one step backward and talk, while assuring that "he is all ears". All the demands should be discussed in parliament which is to convene an extraordinary session on Oct 26 and 27. On Monday the court granted a DES request to order the closure of the website operated by Voice TV. Now the government has extended its olive branch, all sides should reciprocate and be open for talks and compromise.
