ASEAN MPs concerned about case against Move Forward

14 Sept 10:03 Key points summarised by AI

ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR) urges international monitoring of the Thai Constitutional Court case that could dissolve the Move Forward Party (MFP).
The Election Commission initiated the case, alleging MFP's advocacy for lese majeste law reform (Article 112) attempts to overthrow the democratic government, potentially leading to the party's dissolution and a 10-year political ban for executives.
APHR warns a ruling against MFP would undermine the separation of powers, prevent legislative deliberation, and risk widespread disenfranchisement and instability in Thailand.
The group calls on international human rights mechanisms to hold those committing 'judicial harassment' in Thailand accountable, fearing a backslide in democracy and severe harm to the country's economy and reputation.
