Thai Civil Court rejects plea to suspend public gathering restrictions
Thai Civil Court rejected a plea by Internet Law Reform Dialogue (iLaw) and two protesters to lift public gathering restrictions, which petitioners claimed were intended to prevent political gatherings, not COVID-19 spread.
The court upheld the restrictions, citing ongoing COVID-19 infections and the inherent risk of disease transmission at large gatherings, ultimately dismissing the petition for insufficient justification.
