BANGKOK: Thai opposition party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit (pic) called for a peaceful protest on Saturday(Dec 14) after asking supporters to mobilise in the face of a possible ban on his Future Forward party.

BANGKOK, Nov 20 -- Thailand’s Future Forward Party Leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit speaking to reporters at the Constitutional Court in Bangkok on Wednesday. The Constitutional Court disqualified Thanathorn as Member of Parliament after finding him guilty of violating the election law. The 40-year-old politician was found guilty for violating Section 98 of the Constitution by holding shares in V-Luck Media Company while registering as a candidate in Thailand’s General Election.

"We reject all kinds of violence, be it from the demonstrators or be it from government officials," Thanathorn told reporters ahead of a protest due to start at 5 p.m. in Bangkok. Thanathorn said he did not want to revive those disturbances or to call protests like those that have rocked Hong Kong this year.

Thailand's election panel has asked the Constitutional Court to dissolve the Future Forward Party, accusing it of infringing laws governing political parties by accepting multi-million dollar loans from its leader Thanathorn.
