The law, among other things, bans all political gatherings and gives the military sweeping powers of arrest and detention.
"I have asked for the king's permission to lift martial law. The power is now with His Majesty," Prayuth told reporters, adding that he would replace martial law with Article 44 in the interim constitution.
