Thread: Soldiers Stop & Search Yingluck's Convoy in Chiang Mai

CHIANG MAI — Army officers stopped and searched cars traveling in former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's convoy through the northern province of Chiang Mai today.

Yingluck and her aides were headed to Chiang Mai for a religious service when their convoy was stopped at a security checkpoint.

The soldiers identified themselves as officers from the Third Region Army and asked to search all of the vehicles — except for Yingluck’s — for "security reasons."

Yingluck complied, and her motorcade was allowed to proceed shortly afterwards.

According to Lt.Gen. Sathit Pittarat, commander of the Third Region Army, the search was a part of his unit’s routine efforts to stem the narcotic trade and "any movements that may incite chaos."

The general insisted that soldiers at the checkpoint stop every vehicle that passes through, and did not target Yingluck specifically. He also explained that the military officers spared Yingluck's vehicle from the search because they "respected her dignity."

"We didn't touch the former Prime Minister's car at all," Lt.Gen. Sathit said. "I would like to also deny the reports that I sent soldiers to trail her. It's merely for maintaining security. When VIPs enter the area, we have to be responsible for their safety."

Yingluck's Lawyer Urges Junta to Stop Intimidating Her

BANGKOK — Former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's lawyer has asked the Thai military to stop trailing the former leader, which he called an infringement of her rights to privacy and freedom of movement.

The lawyer, Norawich Lalaeng, was referring to the soldiers who stopped and searched Yingluck’s convoy in Chiang Mai province yesterday and followed her for the rest of the day to a temple and market. While the military insisted that the soldiers were merely providing security, Norawich said Yingluck never requested the "protection," and felt threatened by the gesture.

"The police officers and soldiers followed her all day. Even at night, soldiers were posted around her residence," Norawich told Khaosod today. "Such action may not have been a direct attempt to detain her, but it could be seen as indirect detention. It infringes on her privacy, and it restricts her individual rights and freedom. If security forces want to provide us with VIP protection like they said in the news, they should coordinate with us directly, so both sides will be relieved."

Norawich also insisted that Yingluck has complied with all of the conditions set by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) since it seized power on 22 May 2014, such as refraining from "inciting any chaos" or participating in political activities.

"As the legal representative of Ms. Yingluck, I'd like to urge all relevant authorities, such as the military and the police, to stop infringing Ms. Yingluck's rights and freedom that are guaranteed in the constitution," he said.

I would LOVE to stop and search Yingluck.

General Prayuth has offered some clarification.

He has also dropped a hint about what we might expect in the future.

“If she wants to go to eat noodles then she can go but if we prohibit her then she cannot go,” Prayut told reporters Thursday, indicating the military would continue to monitor her movements.

You couldn't make this shit up...
