Constitutional Tribunal disbands Thai Rak Thai
Former premier and Thai Rak Thai ex-leader Thaksin Shinawatra, responding to the ruling against the party, told BBC: "We have to respect the rules of the game. That is, the rule of the law. If the rules of the law are observed, we have to respect it."

Caretaker Thai Rak Thai leader Chaturon Chaisang said last night that the Constitution Court's verdicts disbanding his party, along with two others, was "highly unexpected", and expressed his worry over "setbacks" towards the development of democracy in Thailand.

He called on more than 14 millions party supporters to respect the verdicts, and not protest or resist them.

"Exercise your tolerance and wisdom and be calm," he said in a brief interview outside the courthouse
