Popular Post webfact Posted December 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2014 LESE MAJESTEThai fugitives to be brought back to face justice: PrawitThe Nation Thaksin in the list of those hunted for lese majeste and other offencesBANGKOK: -- The government is working with officials in foreign countries for the extradition of Thais accused of lese majeste and other offences, who live overseas after escaping the law at home, Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said yesterday.Among the fugitives named was former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra."We have to find all of them. The government will resort to all necessary measures to get them back for legal prosecution in Thailand. We will work with the countries involved so that these [accused] people are extradited," Prawit said.However, he admitted to some difficulties, as lese majeste is not considered a crime in some foreign countries where the Thai fugitives live. And he did not know the exact number of offenders, saying only that "there are many".Prawit said the focus would be on violators of Article 112 of the Penal Code involving lese majeste.However, the authorities would also seek extradition of fugitive politicians wanted at home for corruption or abuse of power. These include former prime minister Thaksin, he said."The authorities involved are already doing their job to the best of their ability. Everything must be in line with the law," he said.Army chief General Udomdej Sitabutr, who is also deputy defence minister, said yesterday the security authorities were closely monitoring the activities of Thammasat University lecturer Somsak Chiamthirasakul, who fled the country after the coup in May and has since lived overseas.He said legal action would be taken against Somsak if he was found to have violated Article 112.'Law not used for political reasons'Udomdej denied the government was using the lese majeste law to persecute its political enemies.He said the law had been enforced only when necessary for the sake of national security and protection of the beloved monarchy institution."Please be assured that this government is righteous and runs the country fairly," he said.According to the Army chief, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has been worried about the increase in lese majeste cases.Prawit said yesterday that rumours had been spread by people with ill intentions in an attempt to discredit the government."Their intention certainly is to cause damage to the government," he added.He blamed those rumour-mongers for the sharp decline in local stock prices over the past week. However, he declined to discuss in detail as to whether the authorities already had identified suspects spreading the rumours."I can't tell you now. This is a security matter," he said.He urged members of the public to be sceptical about damaging rumours.Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/politics/Thai-fugitives-to-be-brought-back-to-face-justice--30250093.html-- The Nation 2014-12-18 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suriya4 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 LM112 is the highest and most important law of the land. This is the land of the father. He provided love, peace and hope for all his children living under his protection. Anyone who do not love the father do not deserve to live here and should be jailed until they do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no law in Thailand. The military coup illegally took control of the country and abolished the constitution. There are no legally elected officials in Thailand. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NongKhaiKid Posted December 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thaksin being ' Hunted " ? His whereabouts and travels have been known from Day 1 and nothing ever done to bring him back. Interpol could have issued a Red Notice years ago but were never asked and there'a a great probability that now one will not be made available if the junta only cites LM. Somehow i don't think simply saying to other nations ' please can we have our fugitives back ? ' will cut it but it looks good. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post trev666 Posted December 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2014 a good place to start would be to cancel Thaksin passport and you could follow that by arresting the red bull dick head for murder 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advance on two ? Montenegro and a Sth. / Central American country ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stickyrice2000 Posted December 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2014 Oh God. While Thailand is on a downward spiral, they are concerned about Thaksin.

Popular Post smutcakes Posted December 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2014 When all is crumbling around your ears, nothing like a bit of Thaksin hysteria to draw attention away. It has kept the 'educated' in a state of fixation for years, why change a trusted method. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whybother Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I doubt any country would even extradite Thaksin on his corruption charges, but at least they'd have more chance with that than with LM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yellowboat Posted December 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2014 It really is a bad idea for junta to keep harping on this. It makes them look weak and casts more doubt on their ability to lead. Very few governments will take these requests seriosly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just your usual rubbish full of deliberate pessimism. They have had 19 coups,the last one 8 years ago, none of them have improved the system in Thailand, why anyone would believe this one would be any different mystifies me. I think the pessimism is well founded since they have a 0/19 success rate or 0%. Just edit to note that 'success' is relative. Given they continue to run amok in the country at the top of the food chain, if you asked them, i would say all the coups have been resounding successes.

The Junta has put people off Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
