BANGKOK (BLOOMBERG, REUTERS) - Thailand's parliament will hold a special session next week to discuss demands of pro-democracy protesters after emergency rules and police crackdowns on activists failed to halt daily rallies across the nation's capital and other major cities.

A Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha agreed to support a two-day sitting of the parliament from Oct 26, Mr Anucha Nakasai, minister for Prime Minister's Office, told reporters in Bangkok on Tuesday (Oct 20).

The proposal still needs to be endorsed by King Maha Vajiralongkorn.

The move for parliamentary debate follows six straight days of rallies attended by tens of thousands of protesters calling for Mr Prayut's resignation, a rewriting of the constitution and reform of the monarchy.

While the prime minister on Tuesday didn't say how far the government could go in meeting the demands, the parliament may move forward the process of constitutional amendment to placate the protesters.

"Given the escalating protest movement, the parliament won't be able to delay the process for charter amendment any longer," said Mr Virot Ali, lecturer at Thammasat University's Faculty of Political Science. "The move might be a tactic to buy time without really considering what the protesters demand, which will escalate the movement even further."

On Tuesday, Mr Prayut ordered police to reconsider censorship of media outlets, a day after police said they would probe four news outlets that may have violated the emergency rules imposed in Bangkok last week.

"Our job is to protect the country and eliminate ill-intentioned actions aimed at creating chaos and conflict in the country," Mr Prayut told reporters after the Cabinet meeting.

One of the media outlets under probe, Voice TV, was suspended by a Thai court on Tuesday for violating emergency measures aimed at ending the protests.

Voice TV had also been found to have breached the Computer Crime Act by uploading "false information," digital ministry spokesman Putchapong Nodthaisong told reporters.

Mr Rittikorn Mahakhachabhorn, Editor-in-Chief of Voice TV, said it would continue broadcasting until the court order arrived. "We insist that we have been operating based on journalistic principles and we will continue our work presently," he said.

Voice TV is owned in part by the family of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his sister Yingluck, who was overthrown by Mr Prayut in a 2014 coup. Both fled Thailand to escape corruption cases they branded political.

The protesters have vowed to carry on with demonstrations until all their demands are met.
