BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): Amnesty International has called on Thai authorities to “stop instrumentalising the legal process to intimidate and harass the leaders and members of the Future Forward party”, as the Constitutional Court prepared to deliver a judgement on Tuesday, (Jan 21), in a case that could see the party banned and its leaders prosecuted.

In a statement, Amnesty said the spate of prosecutions targeting the party “appear to be in clear retaliation for activities of the party that fall within the exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association”.
