US ambassador mum on defrocked monk's visa status

Featured Replies

This translates as: What will you do for us in return, on the subject of human trafficking? (since "religious law problems" are touchy items in the US)

From the headline I was expecting to hear the US ambassador's mother give her take on the situation.

  • If the charges against this monk about sexual abuse of minors are based on evidence then he would have been extradited from France.

    Now that he went to the USA it all depends on how much money he has to hire expensive lawyers.

    There is the previous case of Phra Yantra

    QUOTE

    According to Thai officials, there was phsyical evidence (credit card receipts) as well as witness accounts of his sexual misconduct. According to a US immigration judge (who granted him political asylum) he was a victim of persecution due to his popularity and public criticisms of corruption. Where does the truth lie?

The article states that they asked ...

have charges been filed?

And in such cases some of the evidence will be presented for extradition

Which can then be presented to the US and Interpol and any other country for that matter

oh wait nothing said about that. Its Thai press release why in heck would I expect some real substantive concrete inofrmation to be given.

Likely that is the reason the ambassador did not respond

who knows, the monk might already have

french or other nationality

as they like to throw free passports to anybody and everyone

The Monk is accepted in America because he is a friend of Weiner

who were asked to revoke the ex-monk’s visa.

Pretty please can you do that for us ... even if we haven't filed charges and extradition requests cause well its complicated. Pretty please
