BANGKOK (Reuters) - The fate of a high-profile opposition party in Thailand will be decided on Tuesday when a court rules on whether to disband the Future Forward Party over accusations it seeks to overthrow the monarchy.

The sedition complaint before the Constitutional Court also alleges that Future Forward is linked to the Illuminati, a secret society that conspiracy theorists believe seeks world domination.
