Reports: Yingluck Barred From Leaving Thailand

By Khaosod Eng.

BANGKOK — Thailand’s military junta has reportedly barred former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra from the leaving the country.

Several Thai newspapers, including Matichon, have quoted an “unnamed” source as saying that the junta, formally known as the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), has denied Yingluck’s request to travel to Hong Kong.

NCPO chairman and Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha refused to comment on the report while he was leaving for a state visit to Japan this morning.

"Go read the newspapers," Gen. Prayuth told reporters at Don Mueang Airport. "Read what they say."

Yingluck was retroactively impeached on 23 January by the junta-appointed National Legislative Assembly, which voted overwhelmingly to ban her from politics for five years for allegedly failing to stop corruption in her administration’s rice-pledging policy.

Good news they are not going to make the same mistake as with her brother.

[StealthEnergiser]

Another step in the right direction trying to do the same as brother won't work this time.

[Captain_Bob]

Can't go anywhere in public without being harassed and can't leave the country, so it's almost like house arrest. She already thinks of herself as the next ASSK ;-)

[HyperRai]

"allegedly failing to stop corruption"

Hm!Looks like they finally found the one who is responsible for corruption in the past decades.

[iReason]

"Go read the newspapers," Gen. Prayuth told reporters at Don Mueang Airport. "Read what they say."

Well, which is it Uncle Too? Today what the news print's is ok with you?

But tomorrow...

"Don't publish photos of people who violate the law," Gen. Prayuth said at the time.

Excellent.

Won't have to see photos of an Un-Elected PM.

The case has not even gone before the court. There are no charges yet. So it's just another act of the Junta being judge and jury.

[rickirs]

The situation with Yingluck is NOT the same as her brother who went to China for the Olympics. He was free on BAIL after having been CHARGED with a criminal offense. Yingluck has not been charged and should be free as any other Thai would be. Her detention is soley due to the power held by the Junta under martial law and Article 44 of the Interim Charter. If the Junta wants to use the rule of law that it touts as being so important to Thai society, it should charge her immediately, grant bail, and forbid her to leave the country.

I don't care about whether the Junta is fair; it needs to be consistent. But it is the nature of the rule of law under a Junta-led government that consistency is only measured by the last thought of its leader.

House arrest would be much better.

PM declines to confirm Ms Yingluck was not allowed to leave the country

BANGKOK: -- Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha declined to reply a reporter’s question this morning whether former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra was not allowed to leave the country by the National Council for Peace and Order.

The prime minister simply told the reporters to go back to read an earlier press report about what the NCPO had said about the issue.

He was due to leave for Japan this morning for a two-day official visit.

Earlier report said that the NCPO had considered Ms Yingluck’s request for leaving the country and ruled that the planned trip abroad should be delayed as she had already been indicted in connection with the rice pledging scheme by the Office of the Attorney-General.

The NCPO’s ruling is in line with General Prayuth’s set condition that the litigation against Ms Yingluck should be taken into consideration of the request to travel abroad.

However, Mr Norawich Lalaeng, Ms Yingluck’s lawyer, argued that the former prime minister should not be restricted from making overseas trips as the OAG has not formally charged her in the court.

Yeah, because putting someone through a kangaroo court system immediately after the military forcefully overthrows a democratically elected government and shreds the constitution.........where she has absolutely zero chance of receiving a fair trial is awesome. YAY!!!!! JUSTICE!!!!!!

This nonsense will only drive a deeper wedge in Thai society........plain and simple.

Bob, I have no idea where you are from. Maybe Planet Cuckoo... but in MOST western counties, POLICE of an stance can issue a message of sorts to IMMIGRATION - A STOP ORDER so that nay person of INTEREST (and I do not mean monetary here), so that TRAVEL OUT of a country is barred.

This can happen for ANY REASON at all until the Police have concluded their inquiries.

Charges do not have to be laid for this to occur. So EVEN in Thailand, they can do this too and there is nothing suspicious about it. Inquiries have not yest concluded.

Now go back to bed.

I think you spend too much time in Nana plaza or the ilks of that kind.

The wedge is NOT through Thai society and the SMALL fraction that would rise up for Yinny and her stupid kind may not be enough for a gathering of a funeral.

I think maybe a wedge has been driven in someones head....

Oh, how intelligent you are....."I think you spend too much time in Nana Plaza......"

Lol.......how brilliant your analysis is.

And you are a fool. Yingluck won by 14% in the election. Oh, but according to you no wedge......right......back to Nana Plaza I go.....lol

And yeah....such a small number would come to her support. Just like that tiny, tiny number of Red Shirts that took to the streets in 2010. I mean seriously......and you have the audacity to say I am the one with something driven in my head? Good god.....your ignorance is appalling.

That's right if she had been charged and granted bail they could ban her and take away any travel documents.

However, she has not been charged so she's basically a hostage.

The PM wants democracy for Thailand so he should start by being democratic.

Well, considering they (military stacked and appointed legislature) are in the middle or creating a new one, and have not even decided if they will accept public input regarding it........what do you think? Is my statement not accurate?

The 2007 constitution is no longer valid, or being used. There is currently an interim constitution, formed by the military.

If you actually think my statement was false, I would be interested in knowing why.

The Attorney General will submit a subpoena to the Supreme Court on Feb. 19, and wants Yingluck to be present for that, but she want to stay away until at least 22 Feb, so of course she can't go overseas to avoid it.

TS will just have to Skype her with instructions on what to say.

"what it has come to in this beautiful country?"

Farmers no longer committing suicide.

Safer as people no longer needing to demonstrate against a corrupt government and being shot at by it's supporters.

Corrupt police and politicians are being charged

And best of all no longer have to hear BS from Chalerm and Tarit.

I hope you have the exact same feelings regarding the Red Shirts protesting in 2010. No one would be foolish enough to claim the government of Abhisit and Suthep was not corrupt? Right?

So its no problem if you think military rule is awesome, but it would be horrible to be a hypocrite concerning "when" military rule is awesome based on which corrupt leader and party is in power.

Before you all go on your high horses, read what the article says.

Unnamed source.

So you are all so gullible as to believe whatever you hear.

Not surprised here..............

Although I would have preferred her to go and disappear and never again hear about her or her brother.

Good riddance to her and don't forget to take the rest of her muppet cabinet with her.

Jesus, why not just answer the danm question - surely it is straightforward enough?

[lewy67]

I'd love to see what would happen if the former PM waltzed into the US embassy and claimed political asylum. The US government has already openly stated that the findings against her from both the NACC and the NLA appear to be politically motivated. The US would be obliged to protect her from the anti democratic, military government. Then the fun would begin.
