webfact Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Prayut asks UK to confirm Yingluck’s location By Wasamon Audjarint The Nation photo from @secret100million Thailand has asked the United Kingdom to confirm that ex-PM Yingluck Shinawatra is residing in Britain, following the release last week of photos purportedly showing her shopping in London, PM Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha said yesterday. Prayut added that he has no further information on the photographs or her whereabouts. Yingluck vanished from Thailand last August before she was expected to hear the final verdict in a case stemming from her government’s rice-pledging scheme The verdict was postponed for a month, when she was sentenced to five years imprisonment. Various sources have pointed to the UK is a likely refuge for Yingluck, given that her brother, Thaksin Shinawatra, owns a residence and several businesses there. Last week, local media released two photos of a woman shopping in London and Oxford. While the woman’s features are not clearly seen, she appeared to resemble Yingluck. A day later, Facebook page @secret100million posted a photo showing a woman who looks like Yingluck and a boy, who resembles her 15-year-old son Supasek Amornchat, in a shopping mall in London. Thaksin and his children spent their New Year holidays in Japan. They have not commented on the photos.

Sir Dude Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Doesn't matter if it is her as the UK is highly unlikely to extradite a democratically elected PM that was ousted in a military coup...dream on with that. Usually the UK government doesn't even comment on stuff like this and there is nothing the junta can do really apart from forget about her and move on, which is probably best for everyone.

I really hope he requests extradition. That would be hilarious watching the UK politely decline the good General's request then watching him claim it was all a misunderstanding and he'd never requested it in the first place.

evadgib Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) Posters should perhaps bear in mind that no extradition request had ever been received when rent-a-mob turned up outside the embassy sulking and trying the ol' 'face' lark some years back bleating about ol' square-head.

JAG Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 you can support criminals in exile if you wish. That's your choice I choose to support a government that is creating jobs & an economy. PLEASE keep your personal insults to yourself You eulogize endlessly a regime which took power by force, and then, because I (and it would seem many others) find your stance and outpourings risible, you whimper about personal insults! Pathetic. Like your idols, you get a cob on if anyone dares to criticise you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no more to this than cat and mouse for show. Prayut knows the UK would not deal with extradition cases of political nature, neither does he want her imprisoned, martyred and unsettling the home run to his election campaign. To be seen chasing her down will suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchega Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Would suspect no country within Europe and Britain ( Europe's natural leader) would provide info. on political assasination type investigations.

Completely correct.The Thai Junta would also want to avoid the spectacle of a laser sharp British QC quietly demolishing the extradition case in open court and exposing the ugly politicised vendetta.Not only does the “crime” Yingluck is accused of (essentially carelessness) not exist in the UK.It is completely incomprehensible.Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Why the games. All of Europe knows where she is. Interpol knows where she is. She's been accepted into exile so the UK/EU authorities are basically telling the Thai government to get over it by ignoring them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the UK government doesn't even comment on stuff like this and there is nothing the junta can do really apart from forget about her and move on, which is probably best for everyone. Actually, as you are more than likely aware, she was removed from office by a court, prior to the coup that removed the caretaker PTP government. UK courts, unlike yourself, deal with facts rather than fiction or convenient history re-writes. The crime committed and convicted for has also to be a crime in the country where the fugitive now is residing. I doubt they'll find that to be the case if she is indeed in England. So an requested extradition is likely to fall at the first hurdle. What's interesting is that the PM asks the UK rather than expediting the RTP and their blue, or is it red, notice request with Interpol. That all seems to have gone somewhat cold. Or his own Foreign Office. Looks a tad dysfunctional to say the least. You are correct in that the UK government offices do not normally comment on any individual cases.

Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Only that wouldn't happen, except maybe in your dreams. The crime for which she has been duly convicted and sentenced, and chose to flee, has to be a crime in the country where the fugitive now resides for that country to consider extradition. Won't get past that hurdle so no laser sharp very expensive British QC expounding Yingluck's profound innocence in court hearings, appeals and the Supreme Court. But the cat and mouse show for internal consumption, the ludicrous and meaningless sabre rattling, will continue. None of which will remotely effect the billionaire Yingluck who can enjoy the high assets of her billionaire brother. Wonder if she sent her former Commerce Minister a New Year card? In the meantime the Junta will sail on totally oblivious to how dysfunctional the pantomime comments make them look.

Thaksin has investments in a couple of UK businesses; that doesn't equate to owning them. And last I checked, he was persona non gratis in the UK (cancelled visa), so his having a residence there is somewhat moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
