Arrest warrant issued for Move Forward MP over controversial censure debate claims

13 Sept 05:25 Key points summarised by AI

An arrest warrant targets Move Forward MP Rangsiman Rome for failing to appear on criminal defamation charges stemming from his 2020 censure debate claims against Deputy PM Prawit Wongsuwan.
Rangsiman deems the warrant "illegitimate," citing parliamentary immunity for the first summons and a denied rescheduling request for the second, while alleging a plot to oust him.
He warns that even a single day of imprisonment could lead to the loss of his parliamentary status, as per constitutional rules for MPs.
