One of Thailand's most popular girl groups has been forced to
apologise after one of its singers wore a shirt emblazoned with a Nazi
swastika during a televised performance.
Key points:
- Israel's embassy tweeted "shock and dismay" over the outfit
- The singer has agreed to participate in an educational workshop
- Similar incidents have occurred in Thailand, where there is little awareness of the significance of the symbol
The photos of BNK48 singer Pichayapa "Namsai" Natha,
19, went viral after surfacing on social media at the weekend, prompting
Israel's embassy in Thailand to post a statement on Twitter expressing,
"shock and dismay over the Nazi outfit worn by the singer".
"Presenting
Nazi symbols by the band's singer, hurt the feelings of millions around
the world, whose relatives were murdered by the Nazis," it said.
