(CNN) Thailand's Prime Minister has revoked emergency measures imposed on Bangkok following more than a week of daily anti-government protests in the nation's capital and other cities. An announcement in the Royal Gazette on Thursday said "as it has appeared the severe situation which had resulted in an enactment of emergency decree, has resolved and halted." The new order, which came into effect at midday in Bangkok, said the situation had returned to a state where normal law enforcement can address the situation. Prayut said he would lift the state of severe emergency in the capital on the condition that "there are no violent incidents" and asked protesters to work through representatives in parliament.
