Thailand Faces Crisis as Court Interventions Unseat PM

Aug 20, 2024, 04:50 AM

Thailand is facing political turmoil following the Constitutional Court's decision to unseat Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin. This move has led to increased calls for judicial reform, as the court's interventions, which are of no appeal, are seen as contributing to the country's ongoing political instability. The opposition is advocating for curbing the court's sweeping powers to prevent further disruptions. The recent court actions, which included dissolving the most-popular party, have intensified the political crisis in Southeast Asia's second-largest economy.
