I'm not saying it will .... but there will be egg on alot of members faces if it ever comes to fruition.

however, Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha recently said that the extradition process was “generally uneasy”.

while there are plenty of eggs to go around in thailand, they're either on plates or on your beloved junta's face with all their 180 degree turns. if and when the day you hope for comes, you can rave all about it. i doubt anyone will care.

"Yingluck was a democratically-elected Prime Minister who was supplanted by a military coup".

No, she was not supplanted by a coup, she was not PM at the time of the coup.

 As there is no extradition treaty between the U.K. and Thailand and most educated readers already know this, they make themselves look very silly making these statements to the media.

Thailand does have an extradition with Thailand as most informed people know.

And what particular point are making? We know the sequence of events but only the most obstinate dullard would deny the military had nothing to do with the overthrow of a democratically elected Prime Minister.

 

So your point is?

My point is that Yingluck was not Prime Minister at the time of the coup.  Would you like me to tell you who was or can you research that yourself?

 

By the way, you want to be careful with your flaming/personal attacks.

The wheels are not moving at all, and are unlikely to ever move. Yingluck's conviction in Thailand (under the junta that overthrew the government she was elected to lead) was for something that would not be recognised as a crime in the UK..... Get over it.

So fake rice deals and massive corruption by her cronies is not a crime in your opinion?

Where do you get the notion that there is no extradition treaty? Ten seconds to type an inquiry in Google will bring you the text of: 

 

"Treaty of Extradition between. Thailand and Great Britain. Signed Bangkok on 4th March 1911."

 

 

Lazy poster who does no research.

She will never return. And the truth is, that the government is not seeking her return. No way. This is simply meant for consumption by the gullible masses. They are not looking, and no country would ever extradite her. There is little respect for the Thai government outside of this country. Very, very little. They are looked upon with disdain, and disrespect. Extradite where? Why? Not gonna happen, and it is the last thing in the world that Little P. wants.

The risk of the request is that she is arrested and she fights extradition... and wins the right to judicial review / trial in the UK which would require evidence from Thailand (they would likely not just accept the word of the junta).  On review her extradition would likely be rejected on the grounds that the "crime" is not a crime under UK law (I believe typically extradition can be rejected if not a crime under the local laws as well).  That would be bad, but if they went further and stated that the conviction in the Thai court was politically motivated (quite possible) prevented them from also considering the extradition.  Passing a constitutionally legal law that wastes money (even a lot of it) is not illegal in the UK - even if it is a lot of it.  If so, the prisons would be bristling with prisoners (as would Thai prisons) that were former politicians.

If Interpol cannot return a real criminal i.e. Red Bull Heir Vorayuth Yoovidhya how do they expect to recover a political runaway? Unless of course the Thai government don't really want him back.

Of course the junta don't want him back. He is, after all, part of the old elite and cannot be touched.

A real criminal?  What has he been convicted of?

Never going to happen!

Never going to happen.

 

 

And then in the  British court, Thailand's 'system of justice' would be declared officially 'unfit', subjecting Thailand to international humiliation.

 

Never going to happen.

The only way Yingluck ever comes back to Thailand is if she chooses to do so.

 

Never going to happen.

Red calf maybe?

Interpol does not return a criminal, they act as a clearing house to forward on requests for arrest pending extradition.   The delay of years -- probably forewarning him of the red notice allowed him to leave and enter another country -- which makes it more difficult to find since the easiest point to find him is when he goes through immigration.  Now basically they have to wait until someone reports him in a country where his money cannot buy people to look the other way.

What they are doing is all smoke and mirrors and about face.  They have to be seen to be doing something that they really have no interest in doing, as if she was returned she would be the biggest Political hot potato to hit town for many moons.   However; they know that the British Government will never return her so they can play their silly games to make themselves look important.

Yes, the fact that they had been tailing Yingluck and had her under constant watch since the coup -- not allowing her to go anywhere without military minders following her every move.... only to suddenly disappear from the picture days (at most) before the verdict his handed down.... Then the fact that she was likely told what the verdict was before it was read....  pretty obvious that they did not want her here in prison no matter what the protestations are...

Bang on.

 

For some peculiar reason Thai politics is perceived to be somewhat "Machiavellian"-as if they are too clever by half.

 

That is not the truth-their ruling elite is neither clever or Byzantine-they merely have a captive audience.

 

One  day it that will all change..because the Thai people are not dumb or stupid-they just have never been allowed out of their Skinner Box.

Little watches..just the same."
