Thailand declares Glitter 'persona non grata'

 

Thailand declared British former glam rocker Gary Glitter "persona non grata" Wednesday and threatened to deport him back to Vietnam, where he has just finished prison time for child sex offences.

 

The 64-year-old was due to have boarded an overnight flight to London from Bangkok but stayed in the transit lounge complaining of chest pains.

 

He had flown in from Vietnam late Tuesday where he spent two years and nine months in prison for committing obscene acts with two girls aged 11 and 12 in the southern resort town of Vung Tau in 2005.

 

Although Glitter was booked on a Thai Airways flight via Bangkok to London, he complained of chest pains during transit here and did not board the plane, airline officials said.

 

A doctor examined him in the transit lounge and said Glitter was suffering from a minor inflammation in his chest.

 

An official at the airport's clinic told AFP that the doctor prescribed him painkillers and declared him fit to travel.

 

Thailand's immigration chief said Glitter refused to board the next flight to London, but had been declared persona non grata and would not be allowed to enter Thailand.
