Hej
I dagens Bangkok Post kan vi ta del av mer kritik mot juntans kontroversiella beslut att själva ta hand om åtalet mot Yingluck och köra det på ett "snabbspår" utanför rättssystemet.
Skribenten anser att fallet ska behandlas i inom det ordinarie rättssystemet och avgöras i domstol.
Editorial
"The questionable decision to try to seize the ex-premier's assets by "fast track" will cause dissent, and it is better to leave her case to rule of law."

Punish graft in the courts
15 Oct 2015 at 04:20
Former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra earlier this week appealed to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha for fair treatment by allowing her the right to defend herself in court over the controversial rice-pledging scheme.
She faces an Administrative Court order demanding compensation to the state for the huge financial loss from mismanagement of the scheme.
Unofficial reports say Ms Yingluck will have to compensate about 200 billion baht of the total loss of 536 billion baht incurred from the implementation of the scheme during her administration.
The accumulated loss from similar schemes by previous governments devised to shore up rice prices to help rice farmers since 2004 amounts to about 163 billion baht, according to the Finance Ministry. The figure was calculated by the ministry's accounting panel tasked with determining the damages caused to the state's coffers from all rice support schemes since 2004.
The government's legal team, led by Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam, has recommended invoking a little-known law called "Responsibility for Wrongful Acts by Government Officials B.E. 2539". This would empower the prime minister to issue an administrative law to claim compensation from Ms Yingluck, without needing to go through the normal court procedure
