webfact Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Yingluck has promised 'not to be involved in politics’ By The Nation Fugitive former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra is in Dubai and has promised not to be involved in any political activities, Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said on Thursday. Authorities in Dubai have also promised the Thai Foreign Ministry that they would keep an eye on Yingluck and ensure she did not take part in any political campaigns, Prawit said. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha in the morning told reporters, a day after Yingluck was sentenced in absentia to five years in prison by the Supreme Court for negligence in preventing corruption and irregularities in her government’s rice-pledging scheme, that she was in Dubai. Yingluck fled the country just a day or two before she was scheduled to attend the reading of the verdict by the Supreme Court. The court postponed the reading to Wednesday due to her absence. Yingluck’s elder brother and former PM Thaksin had also fled to Dubai to escape from justice.

I bet the Shinawatra's will be banned from any decent European country...corrupt people are not liked there. But you're right they should ban Goldman Sachs as well.

Doubt that very much given that there is clear evidence of guilt in regard to both of them A senior government official in England once called the paymaster 'an unsavoury person, not welcome'. Well said. The paymaster has several passports, not from mainstream countries, all from countries that have very little credibility. Yl possibly has the same. Says it all.

With you on your assessment. This not to be taken on face value especially from either grumpy or dumpy. The message was aimed at her supporters and meant to dampen their spirit that Yingluck abandon them or the junta has scared her off politics. Not going to work. I think it done the reverse and ignite her supporters fight against the double standard and the injustice to take away their freedom to mandate their leaders. She and Thaksin will be vocal more than ever when the time is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonclark Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 This statement proves beyond any reasonable doubt what has always been suspected. That high ranking members of this government, fearing a public backlash over her being imprisoned in the country are as complicit in her escape as she was in the negligence she oversaw in the rice pledging scheme. Her bail, as a fact of law stated, she was not allowed to leave the country, yet the government allowed encouraged and made possible her escape for their own convenience. Good job they all granted themselves immunity for prosecution when they took power! I expect the request to Interpol for her arrest from the Attorney General office will be wishy-washy, vague and stamped with big red letters that read - Please place at the bottom of your inbox and forget about. The Attorney General and by extension the government will then, over the course of the coming weeks / months blame Interpol for the lack of action and wail that its not their fault as they have done all they can, and wait for everyone to lose interest. Case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Prawit says it’s good for Yingluck to be there in Dubai By Thai PBS Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan said on Thursday (Sept 28) that it’s good for ex-premier Yingluck Shinawatra to be in Dubai as it has no extradition treaty with Thailand. His comment came after Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha revealed that Ms Yingluck is now staying in Dubai, the city of the United Arab Emirates. But he said that although the UAE has no extradition treaty with Thailand, it has assured Thailand that it has requested the fugitive ex-premier not to engage herself in any political activity, and that she must complete with its laws.
