An anti-government protester reads a newspaper during a gathering Thursday, May 22, 2014 in Bangkok, Thailand. Journalists and rights groups have criticized the army for primarily targeting the press rather than protesters, underscoring the precarious state of press freedom in Thailand in the wake of Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha's unexpected declaration of martial law this week and his decision Thursday to take control of the government.
