Thai court rejects case against Thaksin in reprieve for premier

The Straits Times

|

November 23, 2024

BANGKOK - Thailand's Constitutional Court dismissed a complaint against former premier Thaksin Shinawatra and his family-backed ruling party, a major reprieve for his daughter's government, which is less than three months old.

The court will not proceed with a petition filed by an activist lawyer, it said on Nov 22.

The plea by Mr Theerayuth Suwankaesorn - who was behind the dissolution of reformist Move Forward Party - sought an order against Mr Thaksin and Pheu Thai Party to stop them from all alleged attempts to overthrow the democratic regime of government with the king as head of state.

A two-time former prime minister, Mr Thaksin is not a member of Pheu Thai Party, though he is considered its de facto leader.
