    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?

    Well, had Thailand not carried out the illegal coup, and had the judicial procedure been carried out according to internationally acceptable standards, maybe the EU countries and the US would have long ago agreed to extradite "the convicted fugitive on the run from (twisted) justice".

    It’s good to see that the Thai police arrest from time to time a fugitive who escaped from arrest back home. If they would now also ask other countries to assist with the arrest of Thai fugitives that would be even better…
