Lawyer "Jam" Sasinan Thamnitinan, a Bangkok MP from the People's Party, condemned the assault on Wira Saengthong, leader of the Bright Future migrant worker group, which occurred in front of the United Nations office during a protest demanding the abolition of the Myanmar worker nationality verification center. She stressed that differing opinions never justify violence and that everyone, regardless of nationality, deserves equal legal protection. She urged police to investigate thoroughly, gather evidence from CCTV and media, and prosecute perpetrators without discrimination based on status, nationality, or political affiliation, insisting disputes must be resolved through law, not force. Ms. Sasinan further stated that police and security agencies must act urgently — not merely stop the incident and remove the victim — but collect witness statements, examine surveillance footage and other media to identify attackers and pursue legal action straightforwardly. "Protecting institutions or holding political ideologies is a lawful freedom of expression, but no ideology can legitimize placing anyone above the law or justify violence against others. The rule of law means nothing if it protects only those who think like us but not those who think differently. I insist that conflicts must be resolved by law and reason, not force," she said.
