Supreme Court not allow Yingluck to leave kingdom
By: The Nation

BANGKOK:--The Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Political Office Holders has rejected a request by former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra to travel to Europe at the invitation of European Parliament members.

In its order, the court said the invitation was insufficient reason for Yingluck to leave the country at this time and therefore her request, filed with the court earlier this week, was turned down.

A copy of the court order was seen by The Nation Wednesday.

European Parliament members Elmar Brok and Werner Langen, in their letter dated October 7, invited Yingluck to exchange views on the Thai political situation either in Brussels, Belgium, or Strasbourg, France.

The invitation letter was just publicised last week.

Yingluck is facing a legal case to be tried by the Supreme Court in connection with her government's corruption-plagued rice-pledging scheme.

Whey the Thai judicial system does bad things to miss Yingluck it just makes them look like bullies

Sorry for that but that's how the international community. Will see it. Just an underhanded way to get at her brother..

Thats quite a brilliant headline.

Not if they knew the full story they would not, wonder if the Euro MPs

were paid to send the letter?

regards Worgeordie

Have contacted Elmar Brok and Werner Langen, who invited her, and informed them to read Thaivisa on a daily basis so they can form their own opinion about the happenings in Thailand.

Saves the taxpayers some money.

If the headline is anything to go by those new fangled Engrish teachers are doing a great job!

Cancel the plane. Pay the pilots. Unpack your bags. You ain't fleeing anywhere, darlin'.

I'm sure the European Parliament will be thoroughly impressed by the junta's dedication to personal liberty and freedom of speech.

These guys are making serious strides in the world oppressive regimes' rankings. Well done!

Sounds like a sensible decision which is not really debatable by those not personally aquainted with the entire saga of this little gal and her and her families traits. That ''rabbit'' gene seems to follow you for a lifetime once it is displayed. Then you add the similarity to family and association with same, a tight rein on the bit is a sensible decision.

Unlike her brother every time she has left the country she has returned so your point is invalid

Invalid in your opinion and I can accept that, no problem. She probably needs to be told ''No'' ever now and again,

just to keep her aware of her true status and not what she may precieve herself as.

well, so that is how the junta gets off the hook for restricting her travel, they let courts do it.

she's still going up the river... there are too many people who hate her, and they happen to be the morons calling the shots at the moment.

No surprise there.

So let me get this right.

Yingluck is in a legal case which in turn means she is innocent until proven guilty and is not allowed to visit the EU but the deputy defence minister general Udomdej who is being investigated for corruption in the Rajabhakti Park scandal is permitted and even encouraged by the PM to stay on as the deputy defence minister.

Go figure.

Everyday more and more repressive news stories keep coming out. This simply makes them look bad and her look better in the eyes of the world.

Thats quite a brilliant headline.

Looks like they've started hiring bargirls as editors after they purged the English teachers.

I'm sure the European Parliament will be thoroughly impressed by the junta's dedication to personal liberty and freedom of speech.

Do you think that any person in the USA, UK or the EU who is in the middle of a court case would be permitted by the courts to go on a jolly to another country.

Do you believe that the court case should be put on hold (at great expense) just because Yingluck gets an invitation to go to the EU. An invitation which has no specific dates mentioned. She may be able to go at the end of the court case depending on what the verdict will be.

If those two gentlemen from the EU think it is that important they can always get a first class flight (not on a Thai airline) come to Thailand and stay ina 5 star hotel at the EU's expense and get in some duty free Xmas shopping as well.

Who knows, they could even meet different Thai people and perhaps learn more about the country and the people of Thailand.

No surprise there.

Go figure.

Have you ever heard of the expression: As different as chalk and cheese?

Yingluck is in the middle of a court case about negligence.

AFAIK Gen Udomdej has not been charged with anything which to quote yourself, he also is innocent until proven guilty and he hasn't been charged with anything at all.

If you believe that he is guilty and have the evidence proving it then give it to the police. If not it is only your opinion.

I have a crazy notion that someone overseas has sort of arranged this feeler, to see how the land lies.

She is not a person to be quizzed on the Thai situation, If these EU persons had any brains they would interview someone like an elder statesman say Gen-P.

Whey the Thai judicial system does bad things to miss Yingluck it just makes them look like bullies

Sorry for that but that's how the international community. Will see it. Just an underhanded way to get at her brother..

The invitation was created to give her a way out. Yeah the judicial systems everywhere are bullies...murders, rapists, robber can sing a song about it, sometimes these bullies even lock you into small rooms and don't allow you to go shopping.

No surprise there.

And like you and everyone else on TV, I am entitled to my opinion.

And quite frankly, you're missing the point. But no point in trying to explain it to you because you and your usual cohorts only see what you want to see.

There is always a first time. Come back a few times and then stay away.

Her brother traveled in and out of the country too, before finally fleeing at the Olympics.

She is not a person to be quizzed on the Thai situation, If these EU persons had any brains they would interview someone like an elder statesman say Gen-P.

If Gen P is an elder statesman then so is Bob Mugabe.

Any connection between the 2 statesmen you mentioned and your username ?

Feel free to enlighten me.

Not really, it's way too early to make such a specific statement.

The past is no guarantee that she wouldn't flee, let's be honest her future ain't looking too rosy, so fleeing is probably somewhere in her thinking!

The test of the court's fairness lies in its reasoning for denying her travel. But all the court can state is -

"the invitation was insufficient reason"

The court has no judicial grounds per se, no legal analysis that it could cite to deny her trip other than the right to deny her request. The court essentially takes a vague and seemingly arbritary position that relies on no legal standard or precedence. Equality under this court is simply that which pleases the court who is quite aware of its masters expectations under Article 44 of the Interim Charter.

The court's denial lacks sufficient reason.

The EU ministers accomplished the purpose of their invitation - to show that the current government holds a vendetta against democracy.

I do not want take sides here.
My hope is, that the police, army or who ever, stop this big ja- baa trade.
100 million pills and more with one transport.
Whether YL travels to Europe or not,
if you love your own people, you prevent, that this drug brings misfortune to your own people.

Looks the Junta is very worried about what Yingluck will say in the EU.

No worries the EU has a rep office in Thailand and Yingluck can make an appointment in Thailand too.

Has anyone thought of the implications of allowing Yingluck to travel to confer with the European Parliament members? What if they were to declare that Yingluck was being treated unjustly and that the Thai people should have the right of free speech and be able to vote for the government of their choosing? We've seen the recent reaction to the US Ambassador's positive and diplomatic remarks!

If the EU Union (read Onion) wants to have first hand information about Thai politics, they have to invite Khun Chuvit,

Great debater, Fast and Furious AND in the bailing system, as well.

Just returned from the US after granting bail on a confession of 'forceful market cleansing'in Bangkok.

No restriction on travel for this politician.
