webfact Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yingluck ‘has left Dubai for London’ By The Nation File photo: Yingluck Shinawatra Deputy police chief Pol General Srivara Rangsipramanakul said on Tuesday that the United Arab Emirates had notified Thai authorities that fugitive former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra had left Dubai for London. However, Srivara did not say when the information was provided. He said the Thailand and the United Kingdom have an extradition treaty, but to seek extradition was the responsibility of prosecutors. “Police had done their responsible part and informed the Attorney-General [about Yingluck’s whereabouts],” Srivara said. Yingluck fled the country in August, just days before the Supreme Court was due to issue a verdict on her alleged negligence in preventing corruption and irregularities in the implementation of her government’s rice-pledging scheme. Since then, she has not been seen in public, and her relatives in Thailand have remained silent regarding her whereabouts. The court last week sentenced her in absentia to five years in prison. After the verdict was read, Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha revealed that Yingluck was in Dubai. However, he was contradicted by foreign media reports that she was in London.

I doubt the UK would extradite on charges of negligence in office causing huge losses to state coffers. Guess you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not our problem anymore. 4 hours ago, webfact said: He said the Thailand and the United Kingdom have an extradition treaty, but to seek extradition was the responsibility of prosecutors. That is not going to happen anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxo1947 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 If....IF.. the Thai government does request that Interpol put a warrant out for her (as reported here) I can not see the UK government granting asylum until that is sorted out.....maybe a stay until it is. . But I really think the Thai Government are quite happy with the current situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aj Mick Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yingluk hasn't been charged with or convicted of anything that could considered a crime in the UK, so extradition is not an option….. Her conviction, sentence and stripping of political rights would strengthen an application for asylum by an ex / deposed Prime Minister, as would the rantings about her by self appointed Thai powers that be..

When you move in those circles of world society, other people open doors for you, you don't stand in immigration queues and money facilitates most of everything. She's not your average Jo sephine.. She can move as freely as does "Boss" Red Bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jippytum Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Does anyone with half a brain really think they want her back in Thailand .I hope the UK revoke her visa as they did with her brother went he left the UK to visit China for the Olympics. Dubai is a fitting location for these siblings . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say funny as she did a degree but can't speak Engrish properree. No reason why she would have English citizenship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the whole point of asylum is that she remains Thai, but is protected by the UK. I understand the point about speaking English properly - there again have you ever spoken to someone from Cornwall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applies to other countries too where dogmatic/irrational decisions waste billions of Euro. I don't want to derail the thread by naming examples.
