Popular Post samsensam Posted February 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2018 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. of course it's beyond their capability, they couldn't even prevent two of the highest profile people in the country escaping the country. it's all smoke and mirrors anyway, does anyone really believe the government wants these two characters back in the country? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange thing for the Commander to say. An army chief saying "don't join the army". TIT I suppose. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. "...should not be interpreted as being any part of a covert meeting..." Good! They are finally going to talk, then. About time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the USA orders Interpol to arrest a serial killer on the run than they can't arrest him when he's seen passing a border? That's new for me. Goos to learn new things. The USA has no authority to "order" Interpol to do anything. No nation does. And Interpol has no agents with arrest powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phutoie2 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 "Capabilities of the RTP,", now that could well be my next read from the town library.

So you think that the USA has the power to order Interpol to arrest someone, they dont, they can ask the country involved to detain the person and it would then be up to the country involved to act on any extradition request from the USA which may or may not be granted as has happened with the Lauri Love case in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Ray Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 16 hours ago, Enoon said: Interpol - Wikipedia "Contrary to the way it is frequently portrayed in popular culture, Interpol is not a supranational law enforcement agency and has no agents who are able to make arrests." I can confirm this. The most they can do is issue a Red Notice asking for them to be detained pending extradition. The detention would be done by the police of the country they were in, who would then ask the requesting country, to provide supporting evidence for extradition. Interpol simply act as a facilitator between the two countries’ police involved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adammike Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 16 hours ago, YetAnother said: what idiocy; what in the world does the army commander in chief have to do with any of this ? and it goes to the heart of thai thinking about other countries; they don't; thailand is quick to assert their own sovereignty but they seem to think that all other countries are thai provinces There was a military coup remember? They probably will never be able to get any country to arrest and put them on a plane back to Thailand as long as they don't openly engage in politics wherever they are.No country will send a disposed democratically elected leader back to a country ruled by an unelected junta that disposed them.

The fact that the RTP can't just waltz into any country they like and arrest people ?? Right, like we needed that little fact explained to us :) "The fact that the RTP can't just waltz into any country they like and arrest people??" Yes, exactly that. Quite a few, judging by some posts (yourself excluded obviously) do seem to think that the RTP (or Interpol!) can do that and that the Shins should be arrested as soon as they are spotted wherever they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the government elite 'were soldiers' but are now 'politicians'.There's always a link to any government and their army. The government is their boss (normally). If the army chief doesn't want people to think he's there to meet the Shins, maybe go a day or two later. Simples. Much like when something is "easy to explain", then you explain. <removed> Edited February 20, 2018 by ubonjoe removed a inflammatory comment 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the fact that Interpol will still be sat in their office in France, no, they cannot arrest them. What they do is issue notices to local authorities on behalf of the requesting country to make an arrest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokakrishna Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Simple truth is they do not intend to ever arrest taksin or yingluck. Its much better for them.when they are on the "run".
