I am not sure what Bkkkfarang means in D1. But the last coup in Europe was in 1974, in Portugal. It overthrew a fascist dictatorship. Also in Europe courts are relatively transparent and fair. You do not any military generals ordering governments to set up courts with pre-determined convictions.
The last fascist dictator arrested was general A. Pinochet, responsible also for overthrowing an elected government and killing thousands of people. He was arrested in the EU under an agreement that honored a Spanish arrest warrant for crimes against humanity. But Margie Thatcher eventually intervened on his behalf, referring to him as "my friend" and getting him released.
Oh I get it...bkkfarang is referring to the baker in Dubai?
