Statement on Min Aung Hlaing’s Attendance at the BIMSTEC Summit

Date: April 3, 2025

1. It has been reported that Min Aung Hlaing, the leader of the terrorist military junta, has arrived in Thailand on April 3, 2025, to attend the BIMSTEC summit.

2. Min Aung Hlaing has been issued an arrest warrant by a court in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for the genocide of the Rohingya people. He is also responsible for the mass killings of thousands of civilians in Myanmar, airstrikes against civilians, and continued executions of civilians even during the recent earthquake crisis. Allowing him to attend the summit demonstrates a complete disregard for the suffering of the people of Myanmar. Therefore, we strongly condemn the BIMSTEC summit organizers and those responsible for his participation.

3. In response, we urge Myanmar migrant workers in Thailand to protest against the terrorist military junta by staging a work stoppage on April 4, 2025, while Min Aung Hlaing is attending the BIMSTEC summit.

4. Additionally, we call on all Myanmar nationals living in Thailand, as well as international allies who stand in solidarity with the Myanmar people, to wear black clothing on April 4, 2025, as a symbol of opposition to the terrorist military junta.

5. The people of Thailand have consistently supported Myanmar’s pro-democracy movement and have stood in solidarity with the oppressed people of Myanmar for many years. Recent reports from social media and news sources indicate that the Thai public also condemns Min Aung Hlaing and his brutal military junta, which continues to bomb and kill civilians during both the ongoing Spring Revolution and the earthquake crisis. We extend our deepest gratitude to the Thai people for their continued support.

6. In this crucial moment, we urge the Thai people to once again stand in unity with the people of Myanmar and support their resistance against the oppressive military regime. The collective strength of the people is essential in this fight for democracy and justice.

In solidarity with the revolution,

People’s Strike Forces of Myanmar’s Spring Revolution
