Move Forward Party ordered to be dissolved: Thai opposition leaders banned from office for 10 yrs
Thailand’s Constitutional Court has ordered the dissolution of the opposition Move Forward Party.
The court also banned the party’s leaders from political office for 10 years.
This comes as the party pledged to amend the country’s strict laws against insulting the royal family.
Critics say the military-backed government use the law to clamp down on free speech.
