snoop1130 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Army chief admits Thai police cannot arrest Thaksin and Yingluck without the help of the Interpol The army commander-in-chief has admitted that it is beyond the capability of Thai authorities to arrest fugitive former prime ministers Thaksin and Yingluck Shinawatra and that they have to rely on the help from the Interpol. The army chief, General Chalermchai Sitthisart, said that, in order to arrest the two fugitives, there were several protocols that the Thai police would have to follow and some of them were beyond the capability of the Thai police and, hence, the need for coordination with the Interpol. General Chalermchai will fly to Singapore tomorrow, which coincide with the visit to the island state by the two former prime ministers. He said he didn’t want people to speculate that he will meet with the duo which is untrue.

Additionally, if they are serious about repatriation, why are they not pushing Interpol with every ounce of their energy? Dont bother, we all know the answer. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Army commander urges all to help maintain peace BANGKOK, 20th February 2018 (NNT) – The army commander is urging all groups to refrain from joining any movement that may disrupt peace in the country. Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Army, Gen. Chalermchai Sittisart said on Monday that his trip to Singapore on Tuesday, which coincides with the reported plan of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to visit the city state, should not be interpreted as being any part of a covert meeting. Gen. Chalermchai confirmed that his trip has been planned without any suggestion of allowing for an encounter with the former premier. He added that it is not the responsibility of the Thai army to track down the whereabouts of Mr. Thaksin but rather the role of other agencies. Gen. Chalermchai went on to say that the National Council for Peace and Order has relaxed the control of politicians because of the trust in the conscience of Thai people to maintain peace. His comment was in response to a report that members of the Pheu Thai Party have been planning overseas trips to meet Mr. Thaksin. -- nnt 2018-02-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
