Khaosod English: Soldiers have disrupted two meetings organized by Pheu Thai politicians who were gathering in northeastern Thailand this week to discuss their legal defense for a pending impeachment trial.
Twenty former MPs were scheduled to meet at a hotel in Roi Et province today to discuss their legal strategy for a trial before the junta’s parliament, which is deliberating on whether to impeach 250 Pheu Thai politicians for their attempt to amend the constitution in 2012 to make the Senate a fully-elected body. If found guilty, the MPs would be banned from politics for five years.
