BANGKOK, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- Former Thai prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra will appeal against the Criminal Court's decision to dismiss her lawsuit against the attorney-general and three other prosecutors for alleged malfeasance, Yingluck's lawyer Norrawit Larlaeng said Wednesday.
The Criminal Court on Tuesday rejected the lawsuit in which Yingluck accused the prosecutors of violating the Criminal Code when dealing with a case related to her government's controversial rice-pledging scheme.
Yingluck's lawsuit was dropped on the ground that the prosecutors'actions were legitimate.
The Criminal Court did not consider the evidence submitted by Yingluck's lawyers and the former premier will petition the Appeals Court, Norrawit said.
