Former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, whose British visa was revoked last week, said today he would leave Beijing for an undisclosed location and vowed to fight back against his political enemies.
"I will keep travelling. I'm leaving Beijing at the moment," Mr Thaksin said from the Chinese capital, denying Thai media reports that his destination was Manila.
Mr Thaksin, who had been living in London after he and his wife, Potjaman, skipped bail in August to avoid corruption charges, said he had scrapped his UK asylum application to be free to carry on his political activities.
