BANGKOK — Thailand's Constitutional Court said on July 17 that it will hand down its verdict for a case seeking the dissolution of the opposition group Move Forward, the biggest party in Parliament, on Aug 7. The case stems from an election commission petition to disband Move Forward over its plan to amend a law that protects the powerful monarchy.

"The court has considered that there is sufficient evidence to make a decision on the case," it said in a statement. The law carries penalties of up to 15 years in jail for each perceived insult of Thailand's powerful crown. Move Forward argues changing it would strengthen the constitutional monarchy and stop the law being misused.
