Supreme Court rejects Yingluck's request to leave kingdom again
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- The Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Office Wednesday turned down request by former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra to leave the kingdom to visit Japan.

Yingluck sent her lawyer to seek permission from the court to take her son to visit Japan on an education field trip in the later part of this month.

The court decided that Yingluck did not have any emergency cause for leaving the country.

Yingluck is facing a trial of alleged negligence of duty related to the rice-pledging scheme.

Earlier this month, she asked the court for permission to leave the country to visit the European Parliament to exchange opinion on Thailand's situation as invited by some European parliamentarians but the court rejected her request.

Not such a long wait - just another 7-8 months. May take longer than that to complete her mansion next to her brother's... Edited December 16, 2015 by trogers

Paranoid ptb.

[konying]

Educational trip? What is that ?

[dundee48]

Wow,she`s getting really desperate now.

[Thai at Heart]

Well times change don't they. It is true though. She is a flight risk. But this should have been applied to dozens of people over the years

[lujanit]

I am not sure if Thailand would be better off if she stayed here, faced trial and if convicted sent to jail and be stripped of her worldly goods and loot as partial restitution.

If she were to leave and do a runner there would be one less catalyst (a major one) to incite violence, especially if she was convicted.

It's almost as if you want to suggest "reject is OK but why start with Ms. Yinlguck".

[Somtamnication]

Like a pinball game this is.

[onetime]

I see a long boat in her future.

[thesetat2013]

Well if the courts are only allowing her to leave for an emergency then I guess her request to to go to Europe will get denied as well.

It's the tired old "Why pick on us : everybody does it" with the inference that it means they should be allowed to get away with it.

I don't care if it's persecution or not : if the person in the dock is guilty, they should be banged away for their crime whatever their shirt colour.

I would LOVE to see a complete risk of all the people who did a runner and what their political affiliation was. I'm assuming the majority are linked to Thaksin or one of his parties/businesses in some way as they seem to be the dirtiest lowlife of all - but I would be interested to know the numbers.

[GuestHouse]

Thank you Phi Chai, that's another fine mess you've got me into ...kha!

[MaiChai]

Japan would be pretty cold this time of the year and Thais don't like the cold much. What an odd request.

[stickylies]

she can do a runner ANY time. her brother has major connections in burma (and property) and the border is porous maak maak.

[Skywalker69]

Ske just like Thaksin will do a runner after the trial is over.

[tbthailand]

Well times change don't they. It is true though. She is a flight risk. But this should have been applied to dozens of people over the years

I'm certain that if she ever really wants to leave the country (and not return) that she has the means to do so....

Yingluck again denied leave to travel abroad
THE NATION


Yingluck

FORMER prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra has failed again to win court approval to leave the country

BANGKOK: -- Yingluck is standing trial for her role in her administration's controversial rice-pledging scheme and all defendants are required to remain in the country unless the court grants them permission to take a trip abroad.

The Supreme Court's Criminal Division on Political Office Holders, which is hearing her case, cited the lack of sufficient reasons to go overseas at this time, a source said yesterday.

Yingluck had sent her lawyers to ask for court permission to stay in Japan from December 15-25.

It was the second time in less than a month for the court to turn down Yingluck's application to travel abroad.

Early this month, she produced a letter of invitation from two members of the European Parliament to participate in a panel discussion on Thailand's current situation. However, the court turned down her request to travel to Europe, saying she could not demonstrate an urgent need for the court to make an exception for her.

Looks like ying's luck is running out.

Well she hasn't yet tried the sick grandmother who needs a new Kwai excuse, thats always a popular one with the locals

[inaktive]

looks like they are trying to give the EU a reason to implement sanctions .

i did read several news in germany last few days about the working conditions in Thai Fishery industry and they all did recommend sanctions because of slavery .....

[Ricardo]

Perhaps another relative can take her son on this trip, so that he doesn't miss out ?

Alternatively she might send him as an unaccompanied-minor, and his rich uncle can meet him in Japan, to show him the sights.

[TKDfella]

Did she really expect anything else? Or is this just a game she's playing to keep herself in the news and not be forgotten?

Good morning to you E/J and the few others above, Man you guy's have been missed, you have been conspicuously missing in action the last few days, now why is that??? because your hero's are making such bloody mess of it that it's impossible to spin anything for them??? but happy to see you have returned for your meager opportunity to have a crack at Yingluk/Thaksin/PTP,,,,,,,.

BTW what makes her such flight risk as compeered to lets say murderers, rapist's, human traffickers, etc ??? I mean she has been O/S before and returned much to the surprise of the few usual posters that loudly cried to the heavens that she will join her brother and not come back.

As for you comment E/J I would also "LOVE" to see a list of "who has done a runner", reckon your assumption may be as accurate as Suthep's account keeping.

[lucky11]

Well if the courts are only allowing her to leave for an emergency then I guess her request to to go to Europe will get denied as well.

It already has been - and quite rightly so!! She's going nowhere, but to court to answer for her negligence of duty crimes or whatever the actual official charge is.

[wabothai]

Education field trip is world championship soccer for clubs in Osaka.

[Wombat6]

Looks like the Boys father is required to step up and take his son to Japan after this decision.

Finally an intelligent post. Thank you. She knows exactly what she is doing. And she's staying because she knows her family still have enough clout here to change history if they bide their time.

[dhream]

I'm not taking sides. Just saying that anyone underestimates this clan at therir peril.
