Just as well I have an Australian passport as well. But that said, I doubt there would be any repercussions, we shall see, it'll be interesting to see developments.

manarak Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I suppose the asylum has been pre-approved, otherwise it would not have been made public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that would then enable her to stand for Labour at the next General Election (which might well take place sooner rather than later). And in the (highly likely) event of Labour winning she will probably be appointed to a senior position in the new Cabinet, with strict instructions from ol' Jezza to write a blank cheque payable to the EU as part of the Brexit deal.

An ex-judge did admit that political expediency in few political cases. Article 44 was used to protect all officials involved in the rice scheme case including the G2G. Faith in the judiciary system gets quite a beating with this kind of revelation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamini Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Some extraordinary posts on this forum. She approved of fake rice deals which beifited her friends and cost the country millions. It was a fair trial started before the coup. She was at least cleared of cleared of negligence. So some posters think she did nothing wrong.

Rangerdriver Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Mr. Thaksin was in London a few weeks ago. He was seen there by a personal friend. I believe Yingluck is now also there.

They would never agree to extradite her to a Military Junta in any country. One of the fundamental principles of International Law is. The legal system of a country will not grant extradition unless the act of the person whose extradition is sought is also unlawful in the that country. A simple, related, example, a country which does now allow the death penalty, will not grant extradition to someone facing execution at home. Good luck to the Thai authorities in proving that. Is there any country in which the impugned act is a criminal one? Except Thailand of course. The same might be said about the offence for which the other Shinawatra PM was convicted.

Agreed. I would take the 5 years in a Thai jail before freedom in Dubai. I suppose if you are rich though you never actually leave an air conditioned space.
