Thai Court Seeks More Documents in Move Forward Dissolution Plea

Thailand’s Constitutional Court called for more documents in a petition seeking to disband the nation’s largest opposition party that was previously found guilty of breaching the country’s charter over efforts to amend the royal defamation law.

The Election Commission, which submitted the petition earlier this week to dissolve Move Forward Party, has seven days to supply additional documents as some evidence submitted was unclear, the court said in a statement. The court did not say when it will make a decision whether to accept the case for consideration.
