snoop1130 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 BANGKOK, July 27 (TNA) – Deputy Pime Minister and Acting Justice Minister Wissanu Krue-ngam ordered the Corrections Department to provide security and appropriate convenience to former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra as he is set to return to Thailand on Aug 10 after 15 years in self-imposed exile. Wissanu disclosed the post-arrival arrangements for Thaksin’s return, saying that preparations have been made in accordance with standard procedures. As for whether Thaksin will request a royal pardon, Wissanu clarified that it is a right held by all inmates, but they must be in the process of serving their sentences. Once Thaksin has received his sentences, he can seek a royal pardon. The request for a royal pardon can be made within the first 24 hours of incarceration. If he is not granted a royal pardon this time, he will have to wait for another two years. After his arrival, he will be escorted to receive the warrant at the Supreme Court and will be taken to detention facilities. The decision on whether Thaksin will spend his time in a hospital or not will be left to the Department of Corrections, which oversees all inmates and their conditions. As Thaksin is currently 74 years old, he will be treated as an elderly inmate and can receive medical treatment he needs. However, Thaksin’s case cannot be confined to house arrest. He must be incarcerated in prison.

Pib Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Below partial quote is from the embedded tna.mcot.net article above. Where the article says "....may lead to different treatment from other inmates...." is another way of saying he'll get 5 star hotel treatment. And this evening's Bangkok Post said if the court is closed that Thaksin will be taken to a special detention center at the Royal Thai Police "Sports Club" in Bangkok where a special facility has been prepared for Thaksin if needed. Nothing worst than being detained in a government Sports Club.....I'm sure all arrests lead to the same special care. ????

The deputy prime minister said he instructed the Department of Corrections to ensure Thaksin’s security, which may lead to different treatment from other inmates due to potential risks associated with his presence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not convinced he ever will, If the domestic politicians can make some progress without him. He will not have reason, particularly with the potential jail time over his head. Back off to Dubai and his hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
