BANGKOK - Thai students are expected to stage a protest on Saturday against a court’s decision that dissolved the country’s second largest opposition party, less than a year after an election to end direct military rule.
The court also banned 16 party executives from politics for 10 years, including its charismatic billionaire leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit. “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 but added if there is a gathering, organizers should filter participants with flu-like symptoms and provide masks and hand gel.
