(Bangkok Post file photo)The Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions has postponed until Nov 29 the reading of its decision on an abuse of power case against fugitive former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra. Winyat Chartmontree and Norawich Laelaeng, Yingluck’s lawyers, appeared at the Criminal Court to hear the ruling, only to be told that it had been postponed to Nov 29 at 1.30pm. Mr Thawil filed a petition with the Supreme Administrative Court, arguing the transfer order was illegitimate. The Constitutional Court subsequently ruled that Yingluck had illegally interfered in the transfer of government officials. Yingluck cried foul over the warrant, saying she had been the victim of relentless persecution in the Thawil case.
