Thailand's Constitutional Court Dissolves Opposition Party

Thailand's Constitutional Court has ordered the dissolution of the Move Forward party due to its campaign to amend royal insult laws. This decision came after a January ruling that deemed the campaign unconstitutional and a threat to the governance system.

Thailand's Constitutional Court on Wednesday mandated the dissolution of the Move Forward party, following its controversial campaign aimed at amending a law that shields the monarchy from criticism.

The legal challenge arose after a January decision by the same court, which ruled Move Forward's campaign unconstitutional and a threat to Thailand's governance structure with the king as the head of state.

The court's latest order underscores the political tensions surrounding Thailand's strict royal defamation laws and highlights ongoing challenges to democratic movements in the country.
