Thai Constitutional Court dissolves progressive Move Forward Party
Thailand’s Constitutional Court has ordered the dissolution of the progressive Move Forward Party (MFP), saying it violated the constitution when it pledged to amend the country’s lese-majeste law outlawing criticism of the royal family.
In its unanimous decision on Wednesday, the court in Bangkok also banned the party’s executive board, which includes its former leader Pita Limjaroenrat and current chief Chaithawat Tulathon for 10 years.
