BANGKOK: Thailand could see street protests again if establishment forces continue to resist democratic change, according to the leader of Future Forward, the nation’s most high-profile opposition party. A flash-point could come if the party is dissolved by judges next month, Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit signalled in a briefing on Tuesday (Dec 3).

Future Forward and some of its officials face more than two dozen cases, stemming from the police, the attorney general, the Constitutional Court and the Election Commission, he said.
