Move Forward suspends security team member
13 Sept 14:11Key points summarised by AI
The Move Forward party suspended Srisuriyane Srikamonpakdi, a member of Pita Limjaroenrat’s security detail.
The suspension came after online investigators revealed Srisuriyane was convicted of kidnapping and blackmail in 2011, serving six years of a 12-year sentence.
Party officials, including Secretary-General Chaithawat Tulathon, stated they were unaware of his background as he was supplied by a contractor.
Deputy leader Supisarn Bhakdinarinath confirmed Srisuriyane's past conviction and emphasized the party's belief in offering second chances to ex-convicts, aligning with their equality principles.
