BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand's junta on Thursday appointed a military-dominated interim legislature in another step in the slow return of promised electoral democracy. The dominance of active and retired military officers in the legislative body reinforces the army's hold on power in the run-up to the 2015 polls. The army's bloodless seizure of power from a government that was elected by a majority of voters three years ago has been justified by Prayuth as necessary to restore order after half a year of anti-government protests and political turmoil that left at least 28 people dead and the government paralyzed. [...] since taking power, the army appears to be carrying on the fight of the anti-government protesters by mapping out a similar agenda to rewrite the constitution and institute extensive political reforms.
