Possibly the first error on their part, using an agent…risks of winning the deportation lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Obviously if some are Israeli they would have entered on an Israeli passport and those people would not be at risk for deportation to Russia. But if dual citizens who entered with Russian passport Russia would be the obvious destination. Sometimes opposition Russians abroad are convicted in absentia in Russia. In those cases Russia might be actively seeking them back from friendly countries. Like it or not Thailand and Russia are friendly.

newbee2022 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 28 minutes ago, Liverpool Lou said: If the Israelis had committed offences and were wanted in Russia under Russian arrest warrants they could be sent there. There is no such thing as an "international" arrest warrant. Wrong. An International arrest warrant (EAW) also called an Interpol arrest warrant is a legal document issued against an individual in another country that requires extradition. People are often arrested when they cross a border or are stopped for unrelated reasons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhounan Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 1 hour ago, Jonathan Swift said: Every professional performing musician knows about the necessary work visas and work permits required to perform in foreign countries. This was an incredibly stupid and avoidable mistake on their part. I'm a musician and I knew all about it as of the first time I came here. I knew about it when I performed in Norway and Iceland. If a foreigner is going to entertain here he has to make sure he is at a safe place and under the radar, necessary brown envelopes exchanged, otherwise someone will report them, often a Thai person who feels that they are taking jobs away from Thais. I wonder if these guys were misled by some unscrupulous "sponsor" or agent? 30 years of career, concerts all over the world and come to Thailand to perform without the permissions? Could be, but sounds quite strange to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An EAW is a European Arrest Warrant that applies only to member states of the EU, they are not "international". Interpol does not issue arrest warrants, it is not a police force. It does issue advisory Notices to member police forces that can be acted on, or not, with the discretion of those police forces and then that action requires extradition unless all parties are in agreement.

But anti-Putin Russians are needed too, inside and outside Russia. The truth is if Ukraine is able to prevail it probably won't be because of a military victory but because of Russia falling apart from the inside. If you've really done that, I love you for that.

This news story isn't about that either way, Just some people getting predictably triggered when they hear the world Israel. They clearly all have Russian or Belorussian backgrounds at least. It's not clear how many are dual citizens, etc. The press here is quite often inprecise on such matters. They are publicly anti Putin and attract anti Putin audiences. At this point in time, Israelis travelling abroad are thin on the ground. The two wars are not the same. If you want to discuss Middle east war, there are plenty of other topics for that.

Surely they could simply have Russian agents come here and subject the baddies to enhanced interrogation techniques. As long as they promise not to waterboard them repeatedly, then send them to Guantanamo for decades without trial. What dribble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BE88 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 5 hours ago, spidermike007 said: They seem to be completely tone deaf when it comes to the antics and ridiculous posturing of administration, compared to their extreme desire for tourism dollars. They seem to work completely independently and it appears that the immigration police and the RTP have no concern whatsoever about Thailand's reputation overseas. And never let it be forgotten that we're looking at 10 years of army participation or domination of the political scene. You can always count on the army to side with a despot regime rather than take the side of democracy. The Thai army is totally anti-democratic. There is no democratic army in the world. When they take power they all become dictatorships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
