The Democracy Restoration Group under the New Democracy Movement, Thai Lawyers for Human Rights and representatives of people affected by NCPO Order No.3/2558 announced the move at Thammasat University on Saturday. We will therefore exercise our right to file a petition with the Constitutional Court,” said Rangsiman Rome, a coordinator of the Democracy Restoration Group. Mr Rangsiman said the groups would ask the court to decide whether the order and actions taken under it were constitutional.
