No passport for fugitive Thaksin

Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej must revoke Thaksin Shinawatra's passport immediately without delay. As a fugitive, he is not entitled to hold a national passport, even if he has been prime minister of this country. After all, why should he be entitled to one? He has impugned the Thai justice system in the most incredible way. He said he would never be able to receive a fair trial due to interference in the judicial system. The Foreign Ministry has rebutted Thaksin's allegations, stating that the judicial system is creditable and time-tested. Indeed, the revocation of Thaksin's passport could be done immediately. Remember, a few weeks after coming into office, former prime minister Surayud Chulanont ordered his foreign minister Nitya Pibulsonggram to immediately revoke Thaksin's passport.
