A Thai lawmaker was removed from the country's parliament on Friday after disrupting Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing's official visit with repeated shouts for peace and humanitarian efforts. The event took place as Senate Speaker Mongkol Surasajja was set to welcome Min Aung Hlaing, who was in Thailand as a guest of the Thai government.
Anusorn Thamjai, a member of Bangkok's People's Party, was among those present at the special reception area to submit a letter directly to the Myanmar leader. The letter highlighted the need for immediate action on cross-border issues and support for democratization in Myanmar. At approximately 10:50, when Min Aung Hlaing's delegation arrived, Thamjai began shouting "For peace, for humanity," prompting alarm among organizers and security personnel.
Parliament police subsequently intervened, removing Thamjai from the vicinity. The visit by Min Aung Hlaing has garnered criticism from human rights organizations and Myanmar activists, who have urged stronger measures against the Myanmar military for the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis.
