Many of us are anger about the #Thailand government deporting 40 #Uyghurs to #China, but note this

The #Thai people voted for #MoveForwardParty which had a strong #humanrights platform. They were NOT allowed to form a government, and were, in fact, forced to disband, as the oligarchs refused to cede power.

This decision doesn't' reflect the will of most Thais.

⬆️ [Last week] #Thailand court dissolves progressive #MoveForwardParty saying it violated the constitution by proposing an amendment of a law against defaming the country’s royal family.

Now: #Thai court on Wednesday removed PM #Thavisin from office over an ethical violation, further shaking up Thai politics after it ordered the dissolution of the main OPPOSITION party.

America, watch out for a coup by #SCOTUS. #SupremeCourt has signaled it is above our Constitution.

Court removes Prime Minister Srettha from office in another ruling shaking up Thailand's politics

Thailand's Constitutional Court has removed Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin from office over an ethics violation. It's the second major court action shaking up Thai politics after the main opposition party was ordered dissolved last week. Wednesday's ruling involved Srettha's appointment of a Cabinet member who had been jailed over an alleged bribery attempt. The court voted 5-4 against Srettha and the ruling removed him from office immediately. The Cabinet will remain in place on a caretaker basis until Parliament approves a new prime minister. There is no time limit for Parliament to fill the position.

The #Thai Court said the campaign to amend the law was an attempt to overthrow the constitutional monarchy 😂

The Party was unable to form a government even after winning the elections because the Senate, at that time a #conservative military-appointed body, refused to endorse its candidate for PM.

Thai court dissolves progressive Move Forward Party, which won election but was blocked from power

A court in Thailand has ordered the dissolution of the progressive Move Forward Party, which won national elections in 2023, saying it violated the constitution by proposing an amendment of a law against defaming the country’s royal family. The Constitutional Court said it voted unanimously to dissolve the party because its campaign to amend the law was considered an attempt to overthrow the nation's constitutional monarchy. The ruling Wednesday also imposed a 10-year ban on political activity on those who held the party’s executive positions while it campaigned for the proposed amendment. Among them are its charismatic former leader and its current chief.
