Thai Lawmaker Protests Myanmar Leader's Visit to Parliament
A Thai MP staged a protest during Myanmar military leader Min Aung Hlaing's parliament visit on August 7, shouting for peace and democracy before being removed by security.
On August 7, 2025, chaos erupted at Parliament as Senate Speaker Mongkol Surasatyakya prepared to officially receive Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Myanmar's political and military leader, who was visiting Thailand as a government guest in special reception hall 204. Before the welcoming ceremony began, Anusorn Thammjai, a Bangkok MP from the Pheu Thai Party, positioned himself in the Arunammarin Hall outside the reception room to observe the event and present a letter to Myanmar's leadership through the Senate Speaker. The letter called for accelerated resolution of cross-border problems and support for Myanmar's democratic restoration process. At 10:50 a.m., when Min Aung Hlaing's delegation arrived at the reception point, Anusorn began shouting repeatedly "For peace, for humanity," alarming event organizers and security personnel and forcing parliamentary police to immediately take control of the situation and remove him from the area.
