Report Supreme Court Verdict on Thaksin’s Hospital Stay Set for September 9
Picture courtesy of Siam Rath Thailand's Supreme Court has set September 9 to deliver its verdict on whether ex-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra avoided prison by getting cushy treatment at the Police General Hospital instead of serving time behind bars. This high-profile case has captured national attention, as questions swirl around the legality of his hospital stay. The court concluded its seventh and final hearing with great impact, as Thaksin's lawyer invited former Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam to testify. Wissanu, who was acting as justice minister when Thaksin made his dramatic return to Thailand on August 22, 2023, provided insights into two critical meetings about security and medical arrangements. Wissanu revealed that Thaksin received VIP treatment for three reasons: his past as a prime minister, potential threats from inmates, and his health needing constant supervision. Despite the buzz surrounding a royal pardon cutting Thaksin’s sentence from eight years to one, Wissanu maintained his role was limited to co-signing the decision. The Supreme Court’s Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions spearheaded the inquiry, which kicked off on April 30. This happened despite the court tossing out a petition from former MP Chanchai Issarasenarak due to inadequate standing. Yet, the case continued due to “reasonable doubts” about the laws guiding Thaksin’s sentence, as noted by The Nation. Previously, the court heard from a range of witnesses, including the Bangkok Remand Prison commander, prison doctors, hospital staff, and Corrections Department officials. With the outcome pending, anticipation is skyrocketing, leading to intense public scrutiny and debate. All eyes are set on September 9. The decision could redefine the boundaries between power and privilege, and confirm whether Thaksin's hospital bed stay was a shortcut to justice. The verdict promises to be a landmark moment in the saga of one of Thailand's most polarising political figures. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-07-31 -
