BANGKOK - The leader of a new party that has challenged Thailand’s military government was charged on Saturday with sedition, the latest legal action facing the rising star after a disputed March election.
The 2015 case resurfaced after the Future Forward Party made a surprisingly strong showing in the March 24 election, coming in third with 6.2 million votes. Police told Reuters the complaint dates back to 2015, when Thanathorn, who was running his family’s auto parts empire at the time, allegedly “provided assistance” to a leader of protesters against the 2014 military coup who violated a junta ban on gatherings of more than five people.
“This isn’t about me. This is about everyone who fights for justice,” he told a sea of supporters outside. Embassy representatives from the European Union, Germany and other countries were at the scene for observation.
