Thai court orders dissolution of anti-establishment election winner

cross-posted from: lemmy.ca/post/26497180

BANGKOK, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Thailand’s Constitutional Court on Wednesday ordered the dissolution of the anti-establishment opposition party Move Forward, ruling its campaign to amend a law that protects the monarchy from criticism risked undermining the democratic system. The disbanding of Move Forward, which won most seats in the 2023 election, is the latest setback for Thailand’s major political parties, which are embroiled in a two-decade battle for power against a nexus of influential conservatives, old money families and the royalist military.

My partner is a refugee from Thailand. She was imprisoned for criticizing the monarchy online. I don’t know if the Move Forward party is the one she supports or adjacent and I’m not going to wake her to ask (today is her day off and she deserves to sleep in). This law, lèse-majesté, is bullshit.
