Yingluck Shinawatra was booted from office shortly before army chief Prayut Chan-O-Cha seized power in May 2014, the military's second coup in less than a decade and their twelfth successful power grab since 1932.
Since then she has been hit with a series of junta-led prosecutions including a retroactive impeachment, an ongoing criminal negligence trial that could see her jailed for up to a decade and a separate move to seize more than USD 1 billion in civil damages.
"The Prime Minister (Prayut) says that all the legal actions against me are based on the law and are not bullying," Yingluck wrote on her Facebook account today.
"I would like the Prime Minister to apply the same logic and justice given to me like he gives justice and protection to his brother and other people who are on his side. Because the laws should be enforced for everyone, not just used only against my side."

Yingluck's comments were a direct reference to new corruption allegations that have surfaced this month against Prime Minister Prayut's brother Preecha Chan-O-Cha, who is also a senior army general.
Preecha insisted his son won the contracts in a fair tender process and denied any wrongdoing.
But it is not the first time the junta chief's brother has had to deny negative headlines.
Earlier this year he admitted helping another son land a well-paid officer's job in the military.
And when the junta ordered senior officials to reveal their wealth -- part of a post-coup attempt at transparency -- Preecha had USD 1.2 million in his bank account -- money he said was military assets he was looking after and not his own personal wealth.
