Political Party Ban

Filed under: global islands,thailand — admin @ 7:00 am

Thailand’s military-backed interim government has lifted a ban on
political party activities. The ban was imposed last September following a
coup that ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. The ban has been
lifted to allow parties to campaign for a general election, expected in
December. The move comes days after a court ordered the dissolution of Mr
Thaksin’s Thai Rak Thai party and banned its leaders, including Thaksin,
from politics for five years.
