Thai senator decries US Senate’s draft resolution on Thailand

Thai Senator Somchai Sawangkarn alleged a conspiracy involving local NGOs and US politicians behind a US Senate draft resolution concerning Thailand.
The US draft resolution calls for Thailand to uphold democracy, human rights, and fair elections, specifically urging the repeal of Article 112 (lese majeste law) and the Computer-Related Crime Act, and warning against military or royal intervention.
A Thai NGO director denied influencing the US senators, while the US Embassy clarified that the draft resolution does not necessarily reflect the US executive branch's views, emphasizing respect for Thailand's sovereignty and monarchy.
