Will Interpol act?

When Thakky makes videos proudly claiming responsibility for burning down Central World, employing Black Shirt snipers, and ordering the assassination of foreign journalists, then you will have a point Frash.

Since I don't understand more than "pai duay mai", I must assume that the subtitles are accurate translations. If so, I can't help but wonder why some of the speakers were not assassinated; why the Thai's haven't been really proactive in finding Toxin. These assholes and their hardcore henchmen need to be "taken out"...and I don't mean "behind the shed".

 

Good post, Mekong.

Subtitles are not a 100% transliteration into English but pretty damn close and the message is the same.

 

The reason why the speakers were not assasinated is because the "nasty wasty urban elite" do not resort to terror tactics, as much as the Red Propoganda machine would try to lead people to believe, due course of justice.

 

These VDO's are only the tip of the Iceberg, there are many more as bad, if not worse, hate speaches available on Youtube without subtitles and I trust Mrs M to fill in the Thai I don't understand.

 

With the VDO's made public, the "recorded phone calls" (CIA assisted, hence the Reason Reds Protested at US Embassy) and alledged proof of financial transactions etc DSI believe that they have the evidence to prove that the attacks were pre-meditated and as such as per UN Security Council Resolution 1373 an act of terrorism.

 

Some people seem to think that K'Abhisit woke up one morning and thought "Lets get Takky as a Terrorist" he is a little bit smarter than that.

 

For the record, Resolution 1373 became part of Thai constitutional law as part of 2003 ammendments, no need to repeat who the PM was at that time.

[color:red]Thaksin is now reported to be based in Montenegro and says Interpol will not act on a politically motivated warrant for his arrest on terrorism charges.[/color]

Reports on Tuesday said Thaksin was in the seaside resort of Budva, in Montenegro, where he has obtained citizenship.

 

Veselin Veljovic, chief of the Montenegrin police, said Montenegro would "act according to the law" if the extradition request was made.

 

The local laws state that Montenegro cannot extradite its nationals to foreign countries unless they are wanted for serious offences such as war crimes and crimes against humanity.

 

[color:red]Twekiat Menakanist, a law expert at Thammasat University, said terrorism charges would make it easy for authorities to return Thaksin to stand trial here as terrorism was an international crime.[/color]

Yes, well since Takky is a THAI national then it should not be a problem, right? Or is Thaksin now a Montenegro citizen?

 

I doubt Interpol will go after Thaksin. The Thai gov tactic is blatantly transparent and will be seen as this being a political problem rather than a criminal one. Unless the Thais can come up with some concrete evidence against Thaksin.

Short answer about citizenship is affirmative; Toxin has Montenegro citizenship, according to this link: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE62G2QM20100317

 

In response to the political basis for requested extradition, sure...it is political. However, I think that most modern-day terrorist activities are based upon "political" ideaologies; in this case, the alleged "terrorist" actions were in furtherance of Toxin's desires (perhaps) to return to Thailand and regain power. To conclude that his indictment on terrorist charges is strictly political would just be convenient excuse not to extradict him. And there were probably at least a million reasons to give him Montenegran citizenship. :content:

Well, I hope they do have the hard evidence to convince Interpol to go after him. And hope they can root him out of whatever hole he ends up hiding in. His money will buy him plenty of 'friends' and protection. In the end it may at least curtail his gallivanting about a free man and he will have to face his accusers in a court of law.

 

If I was a betting man though I would not bet on a billionaire ever being arrested and tried in court, and losing. Unless they have some rock solid evidence against him. He might get knocked off though if he is ever brought to Thailand, that I can see. He's caused some big people too many headaches.

 

His biggest problem is his ego and his greed, and, connected to his ego is his big mouth, which has always caused him problems.

 

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few months.

Ah! Thanks, HH. I did not know (or maybe forgot) that he had citizenship there. WTF? Just how many countries is he a citizen of then?
