The National Peace and Order Maintaining Council (POMC), the ruling junta set up by the Thai army after yesterday’s coup, said this morning on their Facebook page that Thai citizens should not believe rumors that they will shut down the internet, social works, Line, or Youtube.

They also advised that citizens follow information from the Royal Thai Army Radio and Television Station (Channel 5) only.
