Thaksin's Hospital Stay Defended by Justice Minister Amid Review
Pictures courtesy of Thai Rath Justice Minister Pol Col Tawee Sodsong has defended the legality of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra's extended hospitalisation at Police General Hospital. He reassured the public that Thaksin's six-month stay was legally justified under existing regulations despite ongoing scrutiny by the Ombudsman and a petition from the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). The NHRC has challenged the Department of Corrections' regulation permitting Thaksin's external medical treatment, claiming it violates the principle of equal treatment. The Ombudsman has accepted this petition which raises concerns about both the regulation offering prisoners external medical access and the specific decision to transfer Thaksin. The inquiry will assess if revoking this regulation contradicts the constitution or endangers public interest. Pol Col Tawee confirmed respect for independent investigations, asserting existing laws equally empower the Criminal Procedure Code and Corrections Act to permit medical transfers without court approval. Yet, the Supreme Court's authority is acknowledged, with the ministry expressing openness to providing clarity if required. Meanwhile, the Ombudsman, led by Pol Lt Col Keerop Kritteeranont, will probe the petition's questions thoroughly, asking relevant agencies to justify the contested regulation. Following initial fact-finding, further steps like summoning agencies or requesting documents could arise. Should the Ombudsman propose regulatory revisions inadequately adhered to, the matter might advance to the Administrative Court. There is a broader conversation about whether Thaksin's hospital transfer aligns with judicial intent, especially since the sentencing lacked specific hospitalisation guidelines. Clarifications could be sought from involved agencies if ambiguities persist. Customarily, agencies receive a month's response timeline, extendable to two months. If necessary, and should regulatory amendments gain support, non-compliance risks administrative escalation. As debates continue, the NHRC highlights potential human rights violations, emphasizing equal law enforcement under constitutional mandates. Consequently, it has urged the Ombudsman to consider pursuing Administrative Court intervention to nullify Thaksin's external treatment approval and the pertinent 2020 Ministerial Regulation.

China warns ,don’t appease trump
Lol, naturally the cost will be different. But of course almost all items can be sourced elsewhere. So 40% of global production can be had, so plenty for the US, especially considering the US will recycle rare earths. Looks like Germany and Japan will be getting a lot more business in the future, both reliable suppliers of precision mahcinery parts. Germany of course is also huge in solar panel production, Japan in lithium ion battery cells. Again looks like BASF of Germany and possible some British companies can provide these instead. So just cheaper, but can be obtained from many places. Okay then. -
