BANGKOK - Thailand's Constitutional Court on Wednesday dissolved the main opposition Move Forward Party, ruling its efforts to amend a law against defaming the kingdom's royal family violated the constitution.

The judges voted unanimously to order the dissolution of the Move Forward Party and impose a ban on the party's executives from political activity for 10 years.
