White Terror (Thailand)

In Thailand, White Terror (: ความหวาดกลัวสีขาว, Khwam-Watklua SiKhao) is used to describe a political crackdown on civilians living on the island and surrounding areas under the control of the government under the Democratic Republican Party (DRP) and its coalition government.

"Anti-State" Provisions No. 1 and No. 2 were repealed on April 22, 1992, and martial law was repealed on August 8, 1999.
