Criminal Court denies Thaksin's request to travel to Qatar

Provided by Nation.

The Criminal Court has denied former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra permission to travel to Qatar, despite an invitation from the ruler of the city-state, on Thursday.

Thaksin reportedly travelled to the court in Bangkok’s Chatuchak district using his black Rolls-Royce. 

 He was accompanied by Foreign Minister Maris Sangiampongsa. Thaksin then returned shortly after. Later that same evening, the Criminal Court denied the former Prime Minister’s request to travel to Qatar, citing the matter as a personal appointment.
