I am quite surprised that nobody ever mentioned that she might be using "another" country passport when she travels. Ms. Yingluck? Oh yes, we have one person named Yingluck...but sorry guys, she is not Thai! Wrong person!

 

Weird comment.

 

Having her Thai passports revoked and the lass traveling on whatever passport Cyprus - UAE - Montenegro or whatever,

doesn't change the fact that she is a Thai citizen.

 

If she were not Thai, how on earth could the Junta guys ask to have her extradited?

What will be found first, Malaysia flight 370 or Yingluck?

[GinBoy2]

Never quite sure why these stories show up in 'news', probably better in the 'Jokes & Entertainment' section.

We all know it's not going to happen, the Junta (or insert regime du jour) make these announcements, it's plays to some domestic audience that they are trying to placate, knowing full well it's basically a fun newspaper piece for a day or two.

Like many things Thai it's just the pronouncement of the day, like yet another traffic law or yet another 'hub' story, and net result, absolutely nothing!

Yingluck who ?   She is not on our list of fugitives.   Come to think of it, we are not looking for any fugitives from Taiwan.  Sorry.

Not sure who he or they are trying to appease by doing this, but he cannot be that stupid to think they would hand her over.  It is totally bizarre behavior.

They probably need practice and getting extradition orders set up. Could try working an extradition order for the Red Bull heir, now that would be great practice for them

Disagree, not bizarre.

 

Her case has been to court, she is sentenced to jail.

She left the country.

It is well established that the UK gave her a visa, and that she is there every now and then.

 

Not asking for extradition would have been mega weird.

It is bizarre because the junta let her go and now try to put on a show that they are 'trying' to get her extradited. It is actually more humorous than bizarre.

 Verdicts handed down by banana republics headed by a junta are not usually pondered in more independent, cultivated circles of law.   Though, you are correct, they would have to ask even after getting a rebuff from Interpol.   There is the whole escape as Eric mentioned as well raises eyebrows.  The UK is just acting like most on this forum would:  Have not seen her, do not know where she is, don't care where she is.

Yingluck Extradition Going Nowhere

Nor will it ever go anywhere.  They should simply drop it because the West is simply going to make those who seek her arrest look like fools.  Implicitly they are being told that the West does not consider their request to be legitimate because the regime is not perceived as legitimate by foreign democracies.  They should take a hint.

Britain has yet to respond to a request to extradite prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra

Prayut shouldn't stand for this diplomatic malfeasance!

He should imposed some kind of sanctions on the UK in retaliation.

Maybe ban UK tourists from Thailand.

Actually a win-win as UK tourists might be safer not going to Thailand.

Thai officials have no authority in Hong Kong (China) without permission of the Hong Kong (Chinese) authorities.

Well, quite easy to understand...if she does not travel with a Thai passport, she is not Thai wherever she goes with her Cyprus, UAE or Montenegro passport. She is a citizen of Cyprus, UAE or Montenegro.  And in that case, whatever her roots are, how can the government of Thailand ask for the extradition of a Cyprus, UAE or Montenegro citizen?  Oh yes, they can, but everybody knows what the outcome will be.

???

 

What on earth has passport to do with this?

Dont mix citizenship/nationality and passport.

 

She is still a Thai citizen, regardless of the passport she travels on.

 

If she was not a Thai citizen Thai authorities would hardly ask for extradition.

As expected

Well, I am not mixing no nothing.  You just ask any immigration officer... Yes, she is a Thai citizen. But for the Thais only... Wherever she will go with another passport, she will have the "nationality" of the country of the passport she travels with.

Seems all they accomplished was to get Taksin in the headlines again. ?

Well, of course, they can. The country in whose jurisdiction a crime has been committed, or who have convicted a perpetrator who has subsequently absconded, are completely entitled to apply for extradition, regardless of the nationality (or passports) held by said perpetrator.

 

The stumbling block here is rather more the nature of the "crime", the nature of the regime which tried and convicted this alleged perpetrator and the nature of the way in which she was allowed/assisted to abscond.

Can you not take a hint ?

When a government is considered as illegitimate by the rest of the world responses should not be expected.

...billions upon billions of baht later....

 

...and some Thais still think these vile creatures .... 'care about them'....or ...'would be good for Thailand'...???

 

...and even some TV Members...???

 

...jeez....

 

...just look at those repulsive faces....mirroring what is beneath the surface....

That is ok, Thai food will probably bring her back on her own recognisance one day soon.
