snoop1130 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 As anticipated, political petitioner Ruangkrai Leekitwattana lodged a petition with the Election Commission (EC) today, to seek the dissolution of the opposition Move Forward party. This follows the Constitutional Court’s decision yesterday that the party’s campaign to amend the lèse majesté law (Article 112 of the Criminal Code) constitutes an attempt to topple the constitutional monarchy. Meanwhile, a similar petition was submitted to the EC by Thirayut Suwankhesorn, the lawyer who initiated the original petition to the Constitutional Court, which resulted to the ruling yesterday. In his petition, however, he only asked the court to stop the Move Forward party from undertaking activities related to amending the lèse majesté law. Ruangkrai, a solo petitioner like Srisuwan Janya, claims that, based on the court’s ruling, the Move Forward party has violated Article 92 of the Political Parties Act which, on conviction, can result in the dissolution of the party and the withdrawal of the party executives’ right to contest elections.

Popular Post lordgrinz Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 Well, any international investment from the West will probably be tempered and cutback some knowing the Junta/Elite have refused Democracy, and still control the country. If Pita had secured the PM position, reigned in the military/police, and stopped the ridiculous use of the 112 law to attack political rivals, then I am pretty sure the West would've flooded in with investments. Oh well... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
