The Supreme Administrative Court has allowed registration of a Falun Gong association in Thailand, reversing a ruling by the lower administrative court that rejected a petition by three practitioners of the Chinese spiritual cult that is outlawed in China
The court, in its verdict issued on June 2, said the plaintiffs have the legal right to set up a Falun Gong Study Association in Thailand.
The three plaintiffs – Paitoon Suriyawongpaisan, Panida Wayumhasuwan and Chatchalai Sutthakanat – brought the case to the Administrative Court after their application to register the association was rejected by the Bangkok Metropolis Association Registrar.
