webfact Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Attorney General reviews decision to not indict ex-PM ThaksinBy English NewsBANGKOK, OCT 29 – Thailand’s Attorney General will review an earlier decision not to press terrorism charge against former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, according to its spokesman.Nantasak Poolsak said the move was in response to a complaint to the Office of the Attorney General seeking to revise the earlier conclusion by then attorney general Chulasingh Vasantasingh not to indict Mr Thaksin for instigating the mass rally which led to a large-scale political upheaval in Bangkok in 2010.Newly-appointed Attorney General Athapol Yaisawang set up a committee to discuss Mr Chulasingh’s decision against the indictment and promised to treat the case fairly.It depends on whether the committee finds new evidence to charge Mr Thaksin and reverse the former attorney general’s decision, said Mr Nantasak.Vinai Damrongmongkolkul, inspector general, will lead the investigation committee. Mr Vinai was director general of the Special Case Department and spokesman in Mr Chulasingh’s administration.Watcharin Panurattana, deputy spokesman, said it was the attorney general’s authority to seek the extradition of a suspect abroad if the case was pending the court’s verdict.If a culprit flees the country after a court judgement, the court is in charge of issuing an arrest warrant, while the National Police Bureau and the Foreign Ministry are responsible for bringing him back to the country, he said.

Sure there are no statute of limitations for massmurder?? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo the Face Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 It may be a thought that the ruling party will wait until they feel the amnesty bill passage is a sure thing, then and only then, will they reverse the no bill against Thaksin and feel its ok to bring charges against him. Of course the then passage of the assumed proven amnesty bill will make it a moot point as there will now a clean slate for all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ginjag Posted October 29, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2013 Come on lads, this guy is as innocent as you could get, why pick on the man ?? he has kept out of politics, out of the limelight, has never had visitors abroad, does not use the internet, enjoying his retirement and all charges are politically motivated. He is trying to spend his well earned wealth before he meets his maker. just to add my psychiatrist says I need prolonged treatment, and I do not understand why. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomTao Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I am wondering if the new AG might have a political bias, rather than being unbiased, first he decides to drop the terrorism charges against Thaksin and the decides to charge Abhisit and Suthep. If there is sufficient evidence to warrent the dropping of charges against a furgitive who is on the run, then fine, and if there is sufficient evidence to indict someone who was carrying out thier duty against an armed mob that had terrorised the populace, invaded a hospital and set fire to at least one building in the commercial heart of the city causing disruption to the livelihoods of a large number of retailers, then go ahead. If however, the AG is acting with political bias, then perhaps the same commitee which is reviewing the dropping of charges against the fugitive former PM should also investigate the AG's actions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussieinthailand Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I was just wondering how many AG's decisions to not indict Thaksin will it take till many people here to accept it and get over it? and would the same attitude extend to any decision by any AG to the dem's leader and his deputy for their roll in the 2010 riots?

virtualtraveller Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 What, review the decision if they find new evidence to prove that Thaksin wasn't actually out the country on the run, so he can be indicted all the same. What a joke, these agencies have become so utterly biased they make the coup govt look like angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry all you members of the Thaksin cult he is only joking, there is no fear that this man will in any way cause Thaksin any embarrassment. "If a culprit flees the country after a court judgement, the court is in charge of issuing an arrest warrant, while the National Police Bureau and the Foreign Ministry are responsible for bringing him back to the country, he said. (MCOT online news)" Would this be the same foreign ministry that gave Thaksin back his Thai passport and has since refused to comply with the Ombudsman ultimatum, while the National Police Bureau is headed by Adul Saengsingkaew a close confidant of Thaksin. So I guess not much chance there either. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fab4 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I am wondering if the new AG might have a political bias, rather than being unbiased, first he decides to drop the terrorism charges against Thaksin and the decides to charge Abhisit and Suthep. If there is sufficient evidence to warrent the dropping of charges against a furgitive who is on the run, then fine, and if there is sufficient evidence to indict someone who was carrying out thier duty against an armed mob that had terrorised the populace, invaded a hospital and set fire to at least one building in the commercial heart of the city causing disruption to the livelihoods of a large number of retailers, then go ahead. If however, the AG is acting with political bias, then perhaps the same commitee which is reviewing the dropping of charges against the fugitive former PM should also investigate the AG's actions. Wrong, completely wrong. This AG did not drop the terrorism charges against Thaksin. That was done in October by the previous AG, the one appointed by abhisit. The new AG has decided to send the murder charges against abhisit and suthep to the courts. The new AG is now apparently thinking about repealing the decision of his predecessor and reinstating the charge of terrorism against Thaksin. Hardly the actions of a man "bought" by Thaksin, one would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
