The leader of a popular new Thai political party meets with police to hear criminal charges of sedition against him filed by the ruling military junta.
Thailand's Future Forward Party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, center, is mobbed by his supporters upon arrival at a police station Bangkok, Thailand, Saturday, April 6, 2019. The leader of the popular new Thai political party that ran a strong third in last month's elections met with police Saturday to hear criminal charges of sedition against him filed by the ruling military junta.
“I’m concerned because this case is under the military court instead of the criminal court,” he said in a statement to reporters. “That is quite unsettling.” Thanathorn said he views the case as politically motivated because “the timing couldn’t have been more coincidental than this — just one week after elections.”
Sakda Tanpratoomwong, a Bangkok supporter who voted for Future Forward, said he came to the police station to “show support to Thanathorn” and “to fight injustice in this country.” He held up a sign that read “End of age of dinosaur.” He said another person came with him in a dinosaur mascot to symbolize old Thai politics.
