And why should they care? Overall, would you say the Shinawat clan did more harm than good for the country? If you think they did more harm, then a coup was the next best thing I guess.

Innocent people don't sleaze over the Cambodian border and disappear into exile for years on end!

 

Tell that to the numerous political dissidents and journalists that have had to flee Thailand for fear of prosecution.

She still got the B500bn rice-pledging scheme sentence to serve!

I believe she was up on other additional charges, perhaps even convicted of them.

You're right, she's got five years to serve.

Unbelievable people on here. She was ousted by what is the most serious criminal act in a democracy  "a military coup".

No, she was not.  She was removed from office by the Constitutional Court for abuse of power, she was not PM at the time of the coup.

she wasnt under arrest yet if i am correct

You're incorrect, again, she was on bail and had been convicted but buggered off before the sentence for her conviction was announced.

Meanwhile, they still cannot locate the whereabouts of the Red Bull kid.

It'd be very surprising if his location is not known but, if they do locate his whereabouts, outside Thailand, what do you suggest the RTP could do about it?

Let's be very straight, did anyone expect any other outcome? 

You do know that her 5-year sentence for the rice scheme has not been overturned, yes?

[Liverpool Lou]

It's amazing the number of posters who do not know that Yingluck was removed from office by the Constitutional Court, not a coup, nor that she still has a conviction and a five-year sentence for her dodgy rice pledging scheme regardless of the dismissal of this different case.

Here the list for you to contemplate.

- Rolls-Royce and Thai Airways bribery case. Case grind to a halt

- Red Bulll heir mowed down Police Senior sgt - nothing heard

- Bangkok police chief received montly payment of 50k since 2017 - matter closed

- Theft of funds for the poor - nothing heard

- Suthep's police station corruption case - acquitted

By the way Yingluck not charged and convicted for corruption.

Rolls Royce case - Ground to a halt because RR refused to provide evidence or cooperate.

Red Bull - Plenty heard, there's still a warrant out for him.

Police Chief's B50k was investigated and found to be legitimate.

The police station case - as you say acquitted.

Yingluck was charged with and convicted of abuse of power, that is corruption.

And still no charges for her (OK, the Shinawtra family's) massively corrupt rice-pledging scheme that almost bankrupted the country.

What are you talking about, she was charged and convicted and subsequently got five years, that's why she cleared off!

If I was loong Prayut, the man who removed her from office, I think I'd be looking for an escape route from Thailand ASAP.

Prayut did not remove her from office, the Constitutional Court did that...before the Prayut's coup.

So what exactly done she wrong and which crimes she commited? Can you tell it to us and show us the evidence for it?

Fraudulent rice pledging scheme for which she was convicted.  No ne here has to show the evidence for that.

The arrest warrant was illegally issued for a crime she didn’t commit. There is no doubt that the warrant is considered null and void.  Thus the slate is now cleared. Reasoning  skills are required here. 

Which reasoning skills are you using?   Which warrant was issued illegally?   Which crime didn't she commit? Why do you think her slate is cleared, have you forgotten the B500bn rice pledging conviction?

Hm,..They will conveniently forget all those charges,..

How can her conviction and 5-year sentence be forgotten?

" has been residing in self-exile abroad following the 2014 coup orchestrated by army chief-turned-prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha."

 

She was respected by Thai people especially in the poorer North and was globally outward visiting UK etc and forward looking. BritScot is so correct and well supported on here.

BritScot was "so" not correct and any support for his inaccurate assertions is misguided.  He claimed that she was removed in a coup.  She was not.

Let's hope she returns to Thailand after she had to leave following the last Coup. The real message is there in bold: 

Supreme Court dismisses Yingluck in abuse of power case

Her first abuse of power conviction and 5-year sentence still stands.

Versus PM Prayut's rice and rubber pledging schemes that went unquestioned.

Did his scheme cost the country B500bn and was it fraudulent like Yingluck's?

Absolutely, if you are innocent!!! Only stupid people don't run away!!! When you are incarcerated, it is much more difficult to find and present evidence of your innocence. Besides, otherwise she would have been in prison for the last 10 years INNOCENT!!!

You are supporting a lack of faith in the justice system.....she was found guilty by the way!

Just curious how you came out with 500B loss. Did you read the final audit statement by the Office of the Auditor General or just a convenient number that everyone ape.
