The Thai police on Monday charged the founder and two members of a new political party opposed to military rule with violating a computer crime law, an offence that could result in a five-year jail sentence, a fine of 100,000 ($3,000) baht or both, Reuters reports. In the Facebook post, Future Forward Party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit and two other executive members have allegedly implicated the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) when they talked about the luring of former MPs by using the lawsuits against them as a bargaining chip, according to the Bangkok Post.  Thailand’s government affirmed Sept. 14 that the country will hold nationwide elections next year on Feb. 24. The elections will select 500 lower-house lawmakers, while the 250-member senate will be appointed, according to intelligence consultant Stratfor.
