Fugitive former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said in his statement that he does not accept the court’s verdict to seize his 46 billion baht in assets, saying it was something like he was robbed.

Thaksin’s statement was read out by lawyer of the Shinawatra family, Noppadon Pattama, on Saturday late afternoon at headquarters of the opposition Puea Thai Party.

However, the ex-premier called on his supporters to refrain from moving to help him but to use peaceful means to bring back true democracy and to resolve problem of injustice in the country.

Mr Noppadon said a team of lawyers is studying ways to bring the Thaksin assets seizure case to the international court of justice.

He also stated that Thaksin will definitely appeal against the court’s ruling, but the details will be disclosed by Thaksin’s lawyers who handle this case.
