"Thaksin announced on 4 April 2006 that he would not accept the post of Prime Minister after Parliament reconvened, but would continue as Caretaker Prime Minister until then..... He then delegated his functions to Caretaker Deputy Prime Minister Chidchai Wannasathit, moved out of Government House, and went on vacation." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaksin_Shinawatra#Election_results_and_by-elections The military coup occurred while he was on leave in New York, USA that terminated the elected government and caretaker PM authority.

Even states that Thaksin resigned. From Thaksin's statements in the article, his resignation was deliberate and permanent with regard to returning as PM that would require elections. But the elections were cancelled due to the coup, so a moot point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilsonandson Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Why the need to have his passports returned? Thaksin has many. Is this the only reform the government can implement? Reset, reform, restart what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coup happened because Thaksin who having resigned as caretaker PM, then re-appointing himself on no one's authority but his own was delaying the election and acting like he was still PM in the meantime. So something had to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the coup happened he was illegally occupying the caretaker role having appointed himself without any authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Australia do not recognize terrorists and dictators. He can play his TV tribute show as long as he likes. He was not elected by the people of Thailand. And if he goes to election he will loose. No he won't all is a farce and rigged. Just like the draft lol. Joke.. Would that be the same Australia that happily pays people traffickers to take the boats and people back? The same Australia that happily sends it's diplomats and senior politicians here to deal with the exact same Junta members?

He was even the legitimate caretaker PM at the time either. He'd resigned and then illegally re-appointed himself. But the PR lobbyists and a few posters here think "removed in a coup" sounds much better than the actual truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think that's true. As an Interpol member country the Thai authorities could request to flag Thaksin as a fugitive criminal on the run. This isn't a political conviction it's a simple criminal one; as are the outstanding warrants for all those other criminal cases. However, Interpol don't arrest or extradite anyone. The Thai authorities would then have to satisfy the extradition requirements of the particular country he was arrested by, assuming there is an extradition treaty in existence between them. I don't know of any country off-hand that simply dismisses extradition requests rather than putting them through due process first. How are you going with the list of 'several countries' who in addition to Australia have banned Junta members and their families from entering?

By any government. Interpol have no powers of arrest, or judicial system. That would be up to the country in which a person is detained. The country seeking extradition would have to see if they decide if it believed or did not believe Thaksin's insistence he's never ever done anything wrong, and everything against him is politically motivated. Hard to claim the Krungthai Bank Fraud case is politically motivated. Ask yourself, does Thaksin and his clan have a habit of always being truthful, honest and ethical - or the opposite?
