THAI COURT DISBANDS FORMER RULING PARTY
Thailand's Constitutional Court today ruled to disband the Thai Rak Thai party and bar more than 100 of its members from participating in electoral politics for 5 years. The party had been in power in Thailand until a military coup ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra last year. The court found Shinawatra and his party guilty of violating Thai election laws. Thousands of troops are on hand in Bangkok and the Interim Prime Minister has threatened to impose a state of emergency in the event of political unrest.
