PRADIT RUANGDIT
Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has decided to return his diplomatic passport to the Foreign Ministry to ease the pressure on his brother-in-law, Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat, a source close to him said yesterday. Mr Thaksin had already informed his brother-in-law of his decision, but has not set a date for the return of the passport, according to the source.
One possible date would be Oct 21, as the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions will hand down a verdict on the Ratchadaphisek land case in which Mr Thaksin and his wife, Khunying Potjaman, are defendants, the source added.
Mr Thaksin and his wife are seeking political asylum in Britain. The two and their children have been living in self-exile in London since fleeing Thailand in August. They both jumped bail and warrants for their arrest have been issued
