Pita's Move Forward Party had pledged to reform the kingdom’s tough royal insult laws.

Former leader of the Move Forward Party Pita Limjaroenrat during a press conference on the party's plan to defend in its dissolution case.

“I’m extremely confident with my nine arguments. Our nine arguments focus on the jurisdiction and the process,” he told reporters. “That means an attack on democracy,” he said. “It’s not just me personally, it’s not just the party, but it’s really about the discussion about democratic space here in Thailand.”

“We believe that the intention of our MPs in signing the petition to change the law was not an action to overthrow or subvert the institution ,” Mr Pita said.
