http://www.theaseanpost.com/article/whe ... shinawatraIt sounds like something out of a high stakes action flick, ala Mission Impossible – a fugitive on the run in a wild goose chase around the world across continents while slipping the fingers of the authorities at every twist and turn.
But such is the reality faced by ousted Thai leader, Yingluck Shinawatra who fled the nation days before she was due to stand trial for criminal negligence at the Supreme Court which could have seen her imprisoned for 10 years. However, the courts went ahead and in absentia, sentenced the former Thai Prime Minister to five years in prison and subsequently issuing a warrant for her arrest.
Her whereabouts are currently unknown. Local newspaper sources reported that she fled to Cambodia by land and flew to Singapore, then to Dubai where her brother Thakshin Shinawatra – who himself was Thailand’s premier before being ousted in a military coup in 2006 – is now living in self-exile.
Thailand’s current Prime Minister and leader of the junta army, Prayut Chan-o-cha said in late September that she was residing in the emirate with her brother. However, on Tuesday, he admitted to reporters he doesn’t know Yingluck’s whereabouts, adding that the prerogative is up to the country she is currently residing in to confirm her location with the Thai authorities.
