Thai authorities to contact the UK for Yingluck's address as Interpol refuses Blue Notice - spokesman.

 

Former Thai PMs Thaksin Shinawatra and his sister Yingluck pictured in Washington D.C. on Wednesday

 

The Thai authorities have said that they are still pursuing fugitive ex premier Yingluck Sinawatra.

 

This came as Interpol have refused to issue a Blue Notice saying the case is politically motivated.

 

A Blue Notice is to "locate, identify or obtain information on a person of interest in a criminal investigation" according to the official Interpol website.

 

Spokesman Krissana Patanacharoen said that despite the refusal the Thai authorities were at liberty to make their own representations to try and track down Yingluck.

 

Krissana said that was the intention of national police chief Chakthip Chaijinda who has ordered that no stone is left unturned to bring Yingluck back to Thailand. 

 

She fled last year as she was sentenced to jail over the rice pledging scandal. 

 

Krissana confirmed that Yingluck has been granted a ten year visa by the UK that allows her unlimited stays of six month duration. 

 

He did not know on what passport the visa was issued but said it was definitely not a Thai one. 

 

He said that representations were to be made to the UK authorities to locate the whereabouts of Yingluck in the UK.

 

Manager published a picture of Yingluck and former PM Thaksin Shinawatra that they said was taken in Washington D.C. on Wednesday this week.

"Politically Motivated"

 

What more needs to be said?

 

A reasonable court and/or neutral body, outside of the malicious and malignant influence of Article 44 and the Thai army, has said that the case is "politically motivated".

 

Thailand is the laughing stock of the world.

 

Thanks, Gen Prayut!

Ouch.

Let's face it, the Thai authorities are not good it either tracing people, and they find them, to extradite them back to Thailand, and the list is too long to mention, i think that they really don't want want these people back from all sorts of reasons, so when they say they can;t find them when they are hiding in plain sight it's nothing but a cop out...

And the UK authorities will refuse to cooperate for the same reason.

 

Hello Theresa, its your pal Prayut here, can you give me Yinglucks address please, so we can jail her.

Silly bar stewards think the UK will help them.... Dream on pal.

Why do they make these public pronouncements?

 

They should keep quiet and save themselves the embarrassment/ loss of face.

Yingluck laugh at Prayut!

5555555555!

???

Great fun. You would think the Thai non-authoritative authorities would simply go quiet instead of repeatedly embarrassing themselves ...

Nah, Prayuth doesn't deal with minions, he'd phone Liz herself.

 

Thai authorities must be frustrated in the UK.  In Thailand, you only have to pass an envelope with 500 baht in it to get a foreigner's address from a Thai immigration official.

Being refused international cooperation because the case is politically motivated is definitely embarrassing. Be interesting to see how hard the Junta try to push it. They run the risk of looking even worse than they do already.

Serious side to this is that Prayuth is so obsessed with all things Shinawatra that he believes YL may yet make a comeback and put him in prison. He believes she is a threat to his perpetuation efforts.

 

Delusional? Maybe, who knows?

Perhaps Big Joke could sail a submarine to Felixstowe and stage a rescue. They could call it Operation Naughty Package.

The issue of the  "political motivation" is old news, and many of us long ago pointed this out to the die hard supporters of the change in administration through non democratic means. We were ridiculed, berated and insulted at the time.  The anti democratic supporters argued that the  perception  of "political motivation" was a lie.  Now the issue is again center stage, except this time it is actually made public in Thailand.   This is why former PM Thaksin travels wherever he wishes and why the former PM Yingluck is treated with sympathy and free to go wherever  she wishes.

 

The military administration  made  the two ino into political martyrs. and perpetuated  the ongoing political divide.  One need only look at this week's events in Spain to understand that democratic legal means are the best way to achieve a change in governments as Spain's PM was removed peacefully and without military intervention due to a corruption scandal.

Yes. You missed out the word 'double', preceding 'standards'.

Allow me to add to your apropos with the subject in reference in mind.

 

”Did you enjoy your kick in the nads by Yingluck”. Just wishing mate. 

And there used to be some fools on here who actually believed that this phony government were not vindictive, I think this proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are.

Wheres the popcorn?

Get it right up the Junta fanbois on here.

Except for the rare pipe up from Thian they've all gone hiding under their respective rocks, which leads me (with no small amount of pleasure) to attach the following meme:

 

 

If she comes back could most probably be difficult times for the junta and the general so I can't see it happening ! just a lot of sprooking by the authorities

Politically motivated by most definitions would meant an act carried out in the interest of certain government or political party. That is quite a vindication of her management of the rice policy by which she was convicted & sentenced for 5 years.
