Thailand protests: court orders news outlet to close as PM accuses it of 'inciting unrest'

Voice TV, which has links to former PM Thaksin Shinawatra, faces closure over coverage of youth-led protests against government and monarchy

A Thai news outlet connected to exiled former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been ordered to shut down over its coverage of anti-government protests in Bangkok as demonstrators prepared to take to the streets for a sixth consecutive day.

Voice TV, a website partly owned by Thaksin's family, was one of four media organisations under fire for their reporting of the youth-led pro-democracy protest movement and has been critical of the government.
