#THAILAND: Political Parties Get Draft Constitution For Review; Current Law Forbids Them From Meeting To Debate It

[world politics news]


The draft constitution went to political parties for review today, but with a catch: They are forbidden from meeting to debate the proposed charter. Even though martial law has been lifted, political gatherings of five or more people are still prohibited. Critics say the constitution will weaken political parties.
