Bermuda not offering sanctuary to Thaksin

Newspapers in Thailand have been speculating where Thaksin may head after his British visa was revoked.

Some Thai press reports claim Bermuda is one of the countries to have offered sanctuary to the former owner of Manchester City football club.

However Bermuda's Prime Minister Dr. Brown told The Royal Gazette newspaper yesterday that the reports were totally fabricated.

"I know nothing about it," he said. "It's absolutely not true."

He dismissed news reports which quoted him as saying, "Its prime minister (Brown) said he was content to help Thaksin because his family used to face injustice of the legal system before (sic)."

The Times newspaper in the UK said unconfirmed reports suggested Thaksin and his wife had been granted honorary citizenship by the Bahamas.
