Thailand’s Supreme Court denies Thaksin’s travel plans to China and UK
Thailand’s Supreme Court has denied Thaksin to travel to China and the UK on grounds that his first court case on corruption will soon go to trial in Bangkok, Thailand. The Supreme Court on June 24 denied a request to travel to China and UK, saying Thaksin had not provided enough reason to justify travel.
“The judge ruled that while the court is in the process of deliberations, receiving testimony and other evidence, his request for travel was not justified,” a court official said.
Thaksin was required to surrender his passport after he returned to Thailand and arrested on corruption charges, but the courts have regularly let him travel overseas.
Thaksin heads to trial next Tuesday in Bangkok on corruption charges accusing him of abusing his powers as prime minister to buy Thai property below market price for his wife. Thaksin and wife Pojaman deny any wrongdoing.
Thaksin is also accused by many of widespread corruption and disrespect to the nation’s revered king.
