This photo and others appeared on social media over the weekend, purporting to show brother-and-sister fugitive ex-prime ministers Thaksin (right) and Yingluck Shinawatra in China. The team wants to prove whether the pictures of Yingluck and Thaksin were really taken in Beijing as reported, police sources said. Maj Gen Piyaphong Klinphan, a spokesman for the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), said they had not received any meaningful information about the pictures of Yingluck and Thaksin so far. Asked if this means Yingluck can still travel freely internationally as Thaksin does, Maj Gen Piyaphong simply said: “I don’t know”. Government spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd declined to comment on the pictures of Yingluck, saying it’s security officials’ responsibility to deal with this matter, not the government’s.
