Police return Thaksin’s police rank case to police panel

BANGKOK: -- The national police chief was forced to return the recommendation of a police panel to strip former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra of his police rank after it was discovered that the recommendation was not signed by the panel members.

Pol Gen Somyot Pumpunmuang said that once the recommendation of the panel headed by Pol Gen Chaiya Siri-amphankul was properly signed, it would be considered in accordance with the police regulations.

Meanwhile, Army Commander-in-Chief General Udomdej Seetabutr maintained that the army did not file lese majeste charge against Thaksin and only defamation charge was lodged against the fugitive.

As for the lese majeste charge, he said that the matter was being handled by the Crime Suppression Division police.

He insisted that the government and the National Council for Peace and Order have been trying to restore reconciliation but Thaksin, on the other hand, has tried to damage their reputation.

He said that the army was compelled to defend its dignity otherwise it would be seen as being submissive.

Police return Thaksin’s police rank case to police panel

The police returned it to the police..., ok...I'll meditate on that...

I think the police still has the case, maybe give it to the Thai Weather Service?

It's yours ... No, it's yours ... No ...

Actions against Thaksin show junta firmly in control

He said that the army was compelled to defend its dignity otherwise it would be seen as being submissive.

army, ... submissive

although "defending dignity" is a heck of a good justification for filing criminal charges against someone. I'm surprised they still have any left...

Sign the document fellas, then wait for that knock on the door

Can these idiots do ANYTHING right?

Sorry, dumb question.

Is he still collecting a paycheck and acruing pension benefits?

Somyot = pig vomit

Only in Thailand can a military junta insist that its dignity be respected.

As for the Thai people's dignity - the junta abolished it along with the whole constitution.

Ah well, his Little Sister has a Mushroom Farm.

She can put all the B.S. that's going to drop out, as they toss this one around, to good use.

Heheee nobody wants their name on paper as going against Thaksin.

at least rthey know now, where are still reddevills to be rubbed out !!

Two power-mad Thai criminals go into a karaoke bar, one in a business suit and the other in an Army uniform. They each have a few Napoleonic Brandy's and a p[late of som tam Goon, then take turns singing "I can do anything you can do better, I can do anything better than you."

Don't blame the police panel...I'm sure someone gave them pens with disappearing ink.

Somyot = pig vomit

Were you looking at yourself in the mirror when you said that?
