12 Sept 13:13 Key points summarised by AI

Police significantly increased security around the Constitutional Court, deploying officers and erecting steel barricades, anticipating supporters for former Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat's judgement.
The court is scheduled to deliver its ruling today on whether Pita violated the Constitution by holding shares in the iTV media company when he applied for election candidacy.
The Election Commission petitioned the court, leading to Pita's suspension as a party-list MP last year, with today's verdict determining his parliamentary status and political future.
