Thailand Warned Not to Roll Red Carpet for ‘War Criminal’ Myanmar Junta Boss

Human rights activists and Myanmar pro-democracy groups are intensifying their calls to prevent Myanmar junta leader and “wanted war criminal” Min Aung Hlaing from attending a high-profile regional summit in Bangkok next week.

Reports suggest the junta leader will attend the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) Summit hosted by Thailand on April 3-4, despite his regime’s ongoing targeted attacks on civilians in resistance-held territory.
