BANGKOK, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said Monday that the foreign ministry will study how to revoke fugitive former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's passport.
Prayut was in response to media who asked him what to do the next after Yingluck left.
"Thai foreign ministry will work on the issue including revoke her passport. We have to look into the law to decide whether it can be done," said the prime minister, quoted by Thai media Voice TV.
Prayut has asked people to give security authorities more time for investigation instead of blaming them. He reiterated that he has no ideas of which country has Yingluck fled to.
The supreme court was to deliver a verdict against Yingluck over her loss-ridden rice pledging case last Friday. Yingluck stunned the nation by her no-show to the court, claiming that she was too sick to show up.
The court issued an arrest warrant on her on the same day and postponed the verdict to Sept. 27. The whereabouts of Yingluck are still unknown.
