<p>The Constitutional Court has accepted a petition by the Future Forward Party against 32 MPs out of 41 for holding shares in media companies, but they are not suspended as MPs.</p>

<p>JAKARTA, 27&nbsp;May&nbsp;2019 &ndash; The Thai authorities must end their harassment of a prominent opposition politician and not seek to undermine anti-military parties in the National Assembly, <a href="https://aseanmp.org/2019/05/27/thailand-judicial-harassment-thanathorn/">ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights </a>(APHR) said today.</p>

<p>The Election Commission of Thailand (ECT) has requested the Constitutional Court to suspend Future Forward party leader Thanathorn Juangroonruangkit from parliament, after accusing him of holding shares in a media company.</p>

<p>Prachatai invites you to look at an explanation of what is happening in Thai society, what Thai media should do in an age when the prerogative of setting the agenda for what the public learns about is slipping through our fingers, how other countries deal with incitement, and what kind of communication could stop violence.</p>

<p>Piyabutr Saengkanokkul, Secretary-General of the Future Forward Party (FFP), went to the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD) on April 17 to acknowledge allegations by the NCPO&rsquo;s legal representative of contempt of court and spreading false information online.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Col Burin Thongprapai, the NCPO&rsquo;s legal officer, has filed sedition charges against Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, leader of the Future Forward Party (FFP). Meanwhile, FFP Secretary-General Piyabutr Saengkanokkul has also received a summons to report as a witness in the case on the FFP statement on the dissolution of the Thai Raksa Chart Party (TRC).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Thailand is now stuck in a political stalemate. The democratic camp can win the House, but cannot choose the Prime Minister, while the pro-junta camp can choose the Prime Minister but cannot pass legislation through the House. Only one casualty for the democratic camp, and Thailand will be under a disguised military dictatorship for the next four years.</p>

<p>Today (6 March), Pannika Wanich, spokesperson for the Future Forward Party (FFP), revealed that&nbsp;the party will file two defamation lawsuits against MC Chulcherm Yugala and T-News.</p>

<p>Yesterday (4&nbsp;March), the Election Commission (EC) accepted a petition filed by Srisuwan Janya&nbsp;against Thanathorn Juangroonruangkit for violating Section 73(5) of the 2017 organic law on the election of MPs.</p>
