Mr. Nattapong Ruangpanyawut attended the commemoration marking the 20th anniversary of Mr. Nuamthong Phraiwan, an incident that took place during the 2006 coup. The event was held to remember Mr. Nuamthong's sacrifice and the struggle for democracy in Thailand.
At the event, Mr. Nattapong said that Thailand should punish those who carried out the coup.
