Former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said that the Thai government ignored the law when confiscating and selling her property.

In a Facebook post on December 16, former Thai Prime Minister Yingluck said she was sad to be separated from her son, family and supporters and the wealth she earned before becoming prime minister.

"My house was confiscated by the current government and the properties were sold by the Executive Bureau one after another. I have applied all the legal procedures to reclaim the property but I cannot stop the officials from working without care. to the law, according to Article 44 of the Provisional Constitution of 2014, "she wrote.

Article 44 stipulates all orders from the General Council to take power in Thailand after the 2014 military coup on matters deemed to be a threat to peace, security, economy or the background. Thailand's monarchy is "constitutional, legal and highest".

"Prayut Chan-ocha has used Article 44 since he took power and pushed Thailand into a military position. To this day, Article 44 is in effect and those officials do not care that they cannot sell their money. production unless I have been given a decision by the Administrative Court ".

Yingluck, sister of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who is also in exile, said her deposition was unlike other leaders in history and "placed Article 44's privilege above the court's ruling. is illegal "and undermines people's basic freedoms.

"I fought for all the properties, including those left by my parents, but I could not keep even one item. Every time I heard my property was sold, I was heartbroken." Yingluck wrote, emphasizing that she will not be stuck in the past because there are many people who place their hopes on her.

Yingluck became Thai prime minister in 2011 and was deposed after a military coup in 2014 led by army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha, who is now the Prime Minister of Thailand. She has lived in exile since 2017 to avoid accusations of negligent management in the rice price subsidy program for farmers, causing a budget loss of billions of dollars.

In September 2017, the Supreme Court of Thailand tried to be absent and sent a five-year sentence to Yingluck. The former Thai prime minister called the charges against her politically motivated. In September, media reported that Yingluck had been granted a Serbia citizenship and passport.
