FM: Thaksin asked to leave UAE
Convicted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been asked to leave the United Arab Emirates.
“High ranking government official of the UAE had confirmed that the fugitive ex-premier has been asked to leave UAE for having violated an agreement that he will not use the country as base for his political activities”, assistant to the foreign affairs minister Phanich Wikitseth said on Saturday afternoon.
The UAE has sent signal to Thaksin to stop using it as his political base and cause problem to Thailand and to leave the country, Mr Phanich added.
He had no idea when Thaksin would leave the UAE and where his destination was. But if his ministry learns his where about and if Thaksin uses that particular country as political base again, the government of that country will be asked to do the same as the UAE had done.
Thaksin had early this morning denied via his Twitter page that he was not expelled by the UAE as was reported by the media, and that he would today go to meet his two daughters in Europe.
