PPP MP's to ask Britain to grant asylum to Thaksin


PPP in defence of Thaksin

People Power party-list MP Chaowarin Latthasaksiri believed ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has already applied for political asylum in Britain because he fled to Britain on August 10.

Thaksin's lawyer Watchara Seangprathum earlier said his client and wife, Khunying Potjaman, were still seeking asylum abroad.

According to Pol Lt Chaowarin, Britain would grant asylum to Mr Thaksin as the country provides full liberty and rights for everyone, adding that the ousted prime minister did not receive fair treatment from Thailand’s legal process.

On Thursday afternoon, People Power party MPs are scheduled to submit an official document to the British Embassy to Thailand, asking the British authority to grant asylum to Mr Thaksin because of the unjust laws introduced during the Council for National Security (CNS)’s period in office.
