The Dhaka Times Desk Many thought Thailand's Prime Minister Yingluck seemed lost. There were many rumors about his whereabouts. But he was found. He is running away in Dubai!
Thailand's former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra fled the country and went to Dubai.

Yingluck's brother in Dubai and former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is also reportedly in self-imposed exile.
Yingluck was scheduled to appear at the Thai Supreme Court on August 25 but did not appear. His lawyer told the court that Yingluck Shinawatra could not attend the court due to illness. But the court did not consider this and set a new date of September 27 to announce the verdict in his case.
