Thailand's Move Forward Party Faces Court Battle Over Potential Dissolution

The opposition party, which won the most seats in last year's election, challenges the legitimacy of the case against it.

  • Move Forward Party accused of violating laws by proposing reforms to royal defamation statutes.
  • Party leaders argue the election commission did not follow proper procedures before filing the case.
  • The Constitutional Court's ruling could lead to a 10-year political ban for the party's executives.
  • Move Forward's predecessor, Future Forward, was dissolved in 2020 under similar circumstances.
  • Party officials warn that dissolving Move Forward would undermine Thailand's democratic processes.
