Bangkok: Wan Nor declined to comment after the court dismissed the charges against Thaksin in the Section 112 case. Wan Nor respects the court's dismissal of the Section 112 case against Thaksin Shinawatra. He declined to comment on the implications or political events afterward, as they are not related. The judiciary and legislature are performing separate functions. He pointed out that the lower court still has further steps.
According to Thai News Agency, House Speaker Wan Muhammad Noor Matha addressed the Criminal Court's dismissal of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's charges of lese majeste under Article 112 of the Criminal Code and violations of the 2017 Computer Crimes Act, stemming from an interview he gave with foreign media in 2015. He stated that the court's ruling must be respected and that the legislature is not involved. It is a matter between Thaksin and the court. The court's dismissal of the case or its consideration is the responsibility of the judiciary, not the legislature.
As for whether there are political implications and what will happen next, Mr. Wan Muhammad Noor stated that as Speaker of the House, he cannot comment. The country must have rules. Once the court has made a decision, it is up to the judiciary, and we must listen. However, there are still further steps, as it is the lower court's consideration, but respect must be given. Regarding political events, they are political matters and have nothing to do with the court's decision. If we criticize the court's decision, the country will be complicated. He urged the legislative branch to separate its duties and perform its legislative duties effectively.
