Another excellent first-hand account, though I guess PAD supporters will say it's not true. I wonder if a Thai proving similar threats would receive Refugee Status in the US? I doubt it, given their alignment with the Thai Establishment.
What I like best is that, if a true story, the British authorities are independent enough to say 'yes she has a case and yes Thailand is being undermined by a dangerous, life-threatening right-wing movement backed by powerful people' while rejecting Thaksin's right to stay on higher concerns of national security and int'l relations.
Well done, even if the original decision to kick out Thaksin was shameful..
