"Do not present news (about Thaskin) as everyone knows that he has violated the law," Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha, who also heads the military council in charge of Thailand, told reporters yesterday.
"Please do not make us have to use laws, power or force," added Prayut, who has already imposed martial law across the kingdom and sweeping curbs on political discussions in the media and society at large.
His comments came after photographs emerged of Thaksin in China cuddling a baby panda, accompanied by his sister.
Thai media widely used the images over the weekend and by Monday they had garnered more than 280,000 "likes" on Yingluck's Facebook page.
After months retreating from the limelight, Yingluck -- and Thaksin -- have started to creep back into public life, with Thailand's first female premier making appearances at high-profile funerals of key Shinawatra supporters, much to the consternation of the junta.
