泰国法院命令反对党停止推动皇家改革。 Thai Court Orders Opposition Party to Halt Royal Reform Push.
泰国一家最高法院命令该国主要反对党前进党停止一切修改该国严格的王室侮辱法的尝试,该法是其改革议程的核心内容,帮助该国赢得了去年的选举。 A top court in Thailand ordered the country’s main opposition Move Forward Party to cease all attempts to amend the country’s stringent royal insult law, a centerpiece of its reformist agenda that helped it win last year’s election. 宪法法院周三裁定,该党放松《冒犯君主法》第 112 条的运动违反了宪法。 The Constitutional Court on Wednesday ruled that the party’s campaign to loosen Article 112, known as lese majeste law, violated the charter. 这个由九名成员组成的法院在一项一致裁决中表示,前进党推动变革的行为相当于企图推翻君主立宪制。 The nine-member court said in a unanimous ruling that Move Forward’s push for changes amounted to an attempt to overthrow the constitutional monarchy. 法院表示,改革派政党及其总理候选人皮塔·利姆贾罗恩拉特 (Pita Limjaroenrat) 以修改有争议的法律提案为幌子,秘密推动了一项“摧毁”以国王为国家元首的政府形式的议程。 The reformist party and its prime minister candidate Pita Limjaroenrat covertly pushed an agenda to “destroy” the form of government with the king as head of state, under the guise of a proposal to amend the controversial law, the court said.
