Court says Pitak Siam rally can proceed

The Constitution Court Thursday rejected three petitions filed against the Pitak Siam group seeking to block its anti-government protest Saturday, according to a court spokesman.

 

The court found no grounds to believe that the rally was aimed at overthrowing the country’s democratic system of government, as had been claimed by the petitioners, said chief spokesman Pimol Thampitakpong.
“It was found that the protest targets the government only. There are no grounds to support the claim that the protest is aimed at overthrowing the democratic system. So the court rejected the petitions,” the spokesman said.
