UAE says Thaksin no longer welcome there

By: BangkokPost.com

The Foreign Ministry of the United of Arab Emirates (UAE) is ready to cooperate with the Thai government in extraditing outlawed former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya's assistant Panit Wikitset said on Thursday.

Unfortunately, Thaksin had already left the country.

Mr Panit and Deputy Commerce Minister Alongkorn Ponlaboot were assigned by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva as special envoys to forward the arrest warrants for Thaksin to the UAE Foreign Ministry and police.

The envoys visited Abu Dhabi from Sunday to Tuesday and were tasked with negotiating with the UAE authorities to extradite the ousted premier.

Mr Panit said UAE officials told him that Thaksin had entered their country as a businessman on March 27. The UAE government later notified Thaksin that it would not be appropriate for him to stay in the country any longer because he used the country as a base for his political activities.

Thaksin had left the UAE for Liberia on Monday, UAE officials said.

Mr Panit said the UAE government had already received the arrest warrants for Thaksin from the International Criminal Police Organisation, or Interpol. The UAE insisted it would not let Thaksin re-enter the country if he continued to organise political activities there, he said.

Mr Panit said he had briefed Foreign Minister Kasit on the negotiations.

Meanwhile, there were reports on Thursday that Thaksin was in the West African country of LIberia for talks on a ''huge investment''.

Thaksin was found guilty by the Criminal Court of conflict of interest in the purchase of state land in the Ratchadaphisek area by his ex-wife Potjaman Damapong and sentenced to two years in prison. A warrant has also been issued for his arrest on charges of instigating the riots in Bangkok last week.

Mr Panit said similar diplomatic action would be taken against fugitive anti-government core member Jakrapob Penkair, one of 13 United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) leaders named in arrest warrants for causing the Songkran holiday unrest.

Red-shirt leader Jakrapob fled abroad and later gave telephone interviews to foreign news agencies, saying he would continue activities aimed at toppling the Democrat-led government.

funny how panit tell us bi-daily in breaking news how close they are to catch thaksin. i wish them they would do, finally.

before they said thaksin has no foreign passport, mhm, later it was thaksin has no diplomat passport.

interpol doesn't arrest anybody. there are no interpol police man, travel from country to country and hunt the criminals. thats only on the movies.

i doesn't make me to an samak fan, red shirt or what ever you want label me, because i don't follow your religious blind trust in government annoucement or how it's after a translation finally printed in one of those english newspapers.

and we have already an topic open to that UAE story.

The Nation: Thaksin might be able to stay in Dubai, but United Arab Emirates will not allow him to use the gulf state as a launching PAD against the Thai government, said Vice Foreign Minister Panich Vikitsreth.

guess that was the diplomatic answer of the UAE for the thai arrest warrents. do you think they have so much archived with that. did they catch him?

did they narrowd him down? thaksin will be able to stay and come to the UAE, as business man. so if he writes on his immigration card, business and not 'cause political unrest in thailand' thaksin will be still able to travel to UAE and enjoy his time there. and if not who cares.

the should arrest him and not come up with so much BS, what is outdate because Unfortunately, Thaksin had already left the country. that is just a joke.

but maybe good food for the thaksin hobby hunters.

Bangkok Post: Meanwhile, there were reports on Thursday that Thaksin was in the West African country of LIberia for talks on a ''huge investment''.

reports by who, from where and just no more information as only ""talks for hugh investments"?

Poor journalism or Mr. Panit is lying.

Interpol have issued a red notice about Thaksin which is not an arrest warrant.

[Thai at Heart]

This is probably one of the non-stories that gets printed again and again in the press here. So what if he doesn't go back to the UAE anyway. He can still cause problems from somewhere else. They do have internet and satellite connections in other places believe it or not. This is typical fodder for the press to give to the public to make people believe they are doing something and have pull as far away as even the UAE.

"Assistant deputy foreign minister stands up in front of journalists and tells them that Arab country has promised that they will do as he asks. Honest! Scouts honour!" would be a more truthful headline.

[Koo82]

To catch someone who closed 2 airports is much easier. Why do they spend too much effort to hunt down Khun T, knowing he has a few passports?

[Koo82]

So he still can come there but UAE just don't welcome him. Story ends.

[skippybangkok]

What does one do in a straw hut village with $1 Billion. kinda defeats the purpose eh !

[HagenvonTronje]

So he still can come there but UAE just don't welcome him. Story ends.

right, that is a null story.

but i am sure also in the red shirts media are reports about thaksins where about. do they have some home stories, stories beside politics, that show the friendly family man, or reports he conduct there and there successful business. was the football club story a topic? his passport from nicaragua?

and what would actually happen if that what both side so desperately want to happen. what would happen if thaksin comes back? sneaking into the country, and walks on a monday afternoon in may down the Ratchadamnoen Nok Avenue, stops at the democracy monument and make a phone call to Abhisit, i am here, now come and arrest me. okay, he claimed he would never face a fair trail, but a propaganda trial isn't easy if the defendant isn't a nobody. and what would he risk? what could the worst unfair justice charge be. jail? - how many years? but even with an unfair trail- wouldn't that boost his supporters and the movement? there is maybe the danger for an assassination plotted by a power that want to start a coup afterwards, but for this they could snip out somebody else as well. no urgent reasons that thaksin have to be the target in such scenario.

are the any such "what if..." speculations in the red media? or rumours, that Thaksin will appear soon, there and than.

poor journalism, right. did you notice that the Bangkok Post from all those evil crimes thaksin has commited just mentioned guilty by the Criminal Court of conflict of interest in the purchase of state land and a warrant for instigating the riots last week in bangkok. (wasn't that originally a warrant for violating SoE laws, like assembly of more than 5 people and breaking traffic laws?)

but there is also an Interpol "Red Notice" about thaksin, sure? where did you get that information from. don't tell me you read it in The Nation, in an article that had a lot of phrases like a source said or said the source. don't believe everything what you can read in the Nation.

[animatic]

http://www.interpol.int/Public/Wanted/Default.asp

An Interpol Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant.

These Interpol 'Red Notices' represent only a tiny fraction of the number of red notices issued by Interpol.

The persons concerned are wanted by national jurisdictions (or the International Criminal Tribunals,

where appropriate) and Interpol's role is to assist the national police forces in identifying or locating

those persons with a view to their arrest and extradition.

These red notices allow the warrant to be circulated worldwide with the request that the wanted person

be arrested with a view to extradition.

A distinction is drawn between two types of red notice: the first type is based on an arrest warrant

and is issued for a person wanted for prosecution; the second type is based on a court decision for

a person wanted to serve a sentence.

Warning

The person should be considered innocent until proven guilty.

If any member of the public has any information about one of the wanted persons,

they should not contact the General Secretariat directly, but contact the police in the

place where the person has been located or identified.

An official Interpol Wanted Fugitives list is maintained on the Interpol website.

This information may be copied and distributed. However, it must be clearly stated that

this list represents a very small proportion of the full list - only those notices approved for

public dissemination appear on the web site. Any unauthorised alteration of any portion

of Interpol Wanted Fugitives notices is considered as a violation and subject to legal prosecution.

http://www.interpol.int/Public/Notices/default.asp

INTERPOL Notices

One of INTERPOL’s most important functions is to help police in member countries share critical crime-related information using the organization’s system of international notices.

Based on requests from National Central Bureaus (NCBs), the General Secretariat produces notices in all of the organization’s official languages: Arabic, English, French and Spanish. In addition, notices are used by the International Criminal Tribunals and the International Criminal Court to seek persons wanted for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

The seven types of notices and their objectives are:

Red Notice

To seek the arrest or provisional arrest of wanted persons with a view to extradition.

Yellow Notice

To help locate missing persons, often minors, or to help identify persons who are unable to identify themselves.

Blue Notice

To collect additional information about a person’s identity or activities in relation to a crime. Black Notice

To seek information on unidentified bodies.

Green Notice

To provide warnings and criminal intelligence about persons who have committed criminal offences and are likely to repeat these crimes in other countries.

NB: Minimum criteria for the circulation, by the General Secretariat, of international warning notifications (green notices and equivalent documents).

http://www.slate.com/id/2135558/

Warnings that Interpol sends to each of its 184 member nations. Interpol, aka the International Criminal Police Organization,

serves mainly as a communications hub for national law enforcement agencies. Each country sets up its own "National Central Bureau,"

through which it shares information on Interpol's secure, I-24/7 computer network. If cops in one country need information on

an international fugitive, their bureau can request a notice from the organization's headquarters in Lyon, France.

INTERPOL’s role

INTERPOL’s activities in relation to international fugitives have been part of its core business

since the organization’s creation. INTERPOL circulates internationally, at the request of member countries,

electronic diffusions and notices containing identification details and judicial information about wanted criminals.

The INTERPOL Red Notice has been recognized in a number of countries as having the legal value

to serve as a basis for provisional arrest. T

he persons concerned are wanted by national jurisdictions or International Criminal Tribunals,

where appropriate, and the Red Notice is intended to help police identify or locate these individuals

with a view to their arrest and extradition.

INTERPOL created the Fugitive Investigative Service

to offer more proactive and systematic assistance to member countries by:

* providing investigative support to member countries in ongoing international fugitive investigations

with a view to locating and arresting wanted persons;

* co-ordinating and enhancing international co-operation in the field of fugitive investigations;

* collecting and disseminating best practice and expert knowledge;

* conducting and co-ordinating relevant research and serve as a global point of reference

for fugitive-related information.

An Interpol Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant.

...

yep, nobody never ever doubted that. but is there a red notice at all?

and what crimes? "conflict of interest in the purchase of state land " or "instigate others to break the traffic law"?

and don't forget Article 3 of the interpol constitution.

you should send that list of so many countries to the ministry or to The Nation for further BS stories. maybe you get even quoted as source.

so what - red notice, yes or no?

arrest of thaksin? no! but iam sure that is thaksins fault and not the incompetence of the foreign ministry .

and jakrapob, how he moves meanwhile? any updates on the whereabouts?

[Koo82]

What does one do in a straw hut village with $1 Billion. kinda defeats the purpose eh !

What purpose?

What does one do in a straw hut village with $1 Billion. kinda defeats the purpose eh !

If he had $38 billion he might get worshipped as a half-man half-God.

Something to aspire to.

[animatic]

Yes article three,

which is moot except for Thaksin's whinings about unfairness.

He didn't return and didn't have his lawyers file an available appeal.

He thus let pass his ability to dispute his conviction,

and so the conviction stands as legal.

IF he had fought it through and could SHOW who valid legal arguments were ignored,

then MAYBE he might have a political case on this but he doesn't,

only his whining is the evidence he puts forward.

That does NOT reach any standard of INTERPOL becoming a political weapon.

But certainly fomenting rioting and revolution in the streets via international video link

AND that rioting taking place causing a SoE, is enough reason for ANY country to think

he is a dangerous person to have on their soil

Go to Article 2

Article 2

Its aims are:

(1) To ensure and promote the widest possible

mutual assistance between all criminal police authorities

within the limits of the laws existing in the different countries

and in the spirit of the 'Universal Declaration of Human Rights';

(2) To establish and develop all institutions likely to contribute effectively

to the prevention and suppression of ordinary law crimes.

Article 3

It is strictly forbidden for the Organization to undertake any

intervention or activities of a political, military, religious or racial character.

Only Thaksin actually says this is political and a few Thaksin fanatics.

He is a convicted criminal, he didn't bother to appeal, he ran and hid

to live off his money and thumb his nose at Thailand's justice system.

He was removed from office, but had freedom to enter and leave Thailand AFTER that

and did so, multiple times, until HE DECIDED NOT TO COME BACK and face the music.

The fat lady has sung for him.

Someday he will set down in a plane at an airport that HAS read the red alert

And the cuffs will go click, and he will spend loads of dosh trying to stall his way

out of extradition.m And at the same time his phone in's will dry up fast.

That will be one more country that has said; Not on our territory you don't.

His last escapade and lies on international TV are not a recoverable faux pas.

and is there such a "Red Notice" at all or is it just the delusion of the foreign ministry, The Nations fantasy and wishful thinking of a couple of other wannabe thaksin hunters?

It means they SHOULD.

There is the issue of duplicate or non-duplicate types of crime laws in BOTH jurisdictions.

Murder is murder everywhere, but conflict of interests laws,

while most places, may not be everywhere, or read precisely the same.

Murder is murder everywhere, but conflict of interests laws,

while most places, may not be everywhere, or read precisely the same.

so what, Thaksin is only wanted for a conflict of interests case? (and violating traffic laws of course) so that paper, BkkkPost, doesn't made a msitake and forget something other important.

but your speculation has an other big flaw, pointed here out more than once, there isn't any arrest warrent or any other kind of involvment of interpol at all.

or maybe thailand had suuch arrest wrrant sended to interpol, but that would be the wrong adress.

so nothing will happen (if there where such red notice by interpol, UAE would coopperate it would be the thai authorieties, that pick him up. no interpol cops.)

anyway, the headline " Uae Says Thaksin No Longer Welcome There" is only a interpreation and statement of the Thai Foreign Ministers right hand Panich. and a little bit a spin and hyperbole by the newspapers here. the UAE answered he is still welcome as business man for example. there may have been an issue with his video calls in the pas, that the broadcasting" comming from Dubai, hence his passport was revokes by thai authorities, so he needs a new passport and did a visa run, diplomatic solution where everybody can save face. and thai officals can come up wth a brandnew cool story at home.

the UAE will thaksin welcomes as business man, and that he is a business man will nobody doubt in dubai but he maybe was told don't instigate any further violations of traffic laws while in the UAE. end of story.

UAE and Nicaragua asked to arrest Thaksin

Published on May 4, 2009

Public prosecutors have sought cooperation from United Arab Emirates and Nicaragua to arrest fugitive ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra.

However it would be up to both countries' decision as Thailand has not signed extradition treaty with them.

"We already submit the request to both countries via Thai foreign ministry to help locate and arrest Thaksin. We have to use diplomatic channel as we have no extradition treaty with them," Sirisak Tiyaphan, executive director for foreign litigation at the Office of the Attorney-General.

PM cancels visit to UAE

BANGKOK, 2 May 2009 (NNT) – Tourism and Sports Minister Chumpol Silpa-archa said Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva had canceled his visit to Dubai of United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to domestic problems.

Earlier, the Prime Minister was scheduled to visit UAE during 5-8 May 2009 for tourism road show and related activities. However, Mr. Chumpol said he would be on his mission as scheduled, in his capacity as the Tourism and Sports Minister.

The Minister said the annual road show of Tourism Authority of Thailand must be led by national important figures. This year, Mr. Abhisit initially decided to participate in the trip but the current national situation forced the Prime Minister to call off his participation, said Mr, Chumpol.
