But Move Forward not only dared, it won the most seats in May though the amendment was only one plank of a progressive platform. About 250 of the 1,900 prosecutions linked to the 2020 protests were under Article 112, according to the group Thai Lawyers for Human Rights.“We can now see the real fault line in politics is the role of the monarchy in Thailand’s political order,” said political analyst Thitinan Pongsudhirak, from Bangkok’s Chulalongkorn University.
