Pita’s sentence for holding an unlawful rally comes a week after a Thai court ruled that his Move Forward party had undermined the monarchy
A Thai court has handed suspended sentences to former prime ministerial hopeful Pita Limjaroenrat and seven other political figures for holding an unlawful rally in 2019.
The case adds to the legal trouble facing the opposition Move Forward Party after the country’s constitutional court last week ruled that the party has undermined the monarchy and national security amid its campaign to amend a law protecting the monarchy from criticism.
