BANGKOK - Hundreds of students and supporters held a protest in Bangkok on Saturday against a court decision dissolving Thailand’s second largest opposition party, less than a year after an election that ended direct military rule.
The court also banned 16 party executives from politics for 10 years, including its charismatic billionaire leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit. The party and Thanathorn have denied any wrongdoing. “We are holding the rally against the injustice in the country,” student union president Jutatip Sirikhan, 21, told Reuters.
“A political gathering is not appropriate at this time and could increase risk of an outbreak,” health official Tanarak Pipat said. Some of the protesters wore medical masks.
