Activist no security threat: DonPeople lay flowers in front of a picture of missing activist Wanchalearm Satsaksit on the skywalk at the Pathumwan intersection on Friday. The minister made the remark in parliament in response to questions raised by the opposition, who demanded the government explain its role in Mr Wanchalearm's disappearance. According to the Foreign Ministry, Mr Wanchalearm didn't have political refugee status and isn't on the UNHCR's list of political refugees either, Mr Don said. He told parliament that Mr Wanchalearm bears little significance in terms of international and security affairs, so he should not be considered a threat to security. Mr Rangsiman said Mr Wanchalearm is a political refugee who needed protection.
