Calls for CCTV footage to verify Thaksin Shinawatra’s health claims

[webfact]

 

Political activist Jatuporn Prompan has called on the Department of Corrections (DoC) and the Police General Hospital to disclose CCTV footage to address public concerns surrounding the health condition of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

 

Jatuporn, who has been imprisoned five times, pointed out that all inmates’ actions, including their medical treatments and transfers, are documented through CCTV. He stated on the Thailand First programme on Peace TV that the footage could reveal whether Thaksin’s illness is genuine or politically motivated.

 

“There are suspicions over whether Thaksin is politically ill or truly sick. Upon his return to Thailand at Don Mueang airport, key members of the Pheu Thai Party asserted that he was in healthy condition. However, he suddenly fell ill after being taken to prison,” Jatuporn said.

Jatuporn is funny:

'(He) applauded the prison hospital for its swift diagnosis of these four diseases with only a stethoscope'.

Jatuporn, a man not to be trusted too much ????

 

I'm not sure what people are supposed to see with CCTV but it is a gross violation of privacy, especially if he is really sick. Also doctors should not be discussing patient status with the press, it's an obscene invasion of privacy. 

Time to take the doctor's advice that he is sick and get over yourselves hounding the man.

Maybe his first supper was not up to standard?

As Jatuporn explained, there are CCTV cameras all over the prison, these could reveal how 'sick' Thaksin was.

And Thaksin was making bloody sure it was his Last supper in there.

He never reached the prison, he was taken straight to the Medical corrections hospital adjacent to the prison and then airlifted out 12 hours later to the Police hospital.

I imagine the CCTV cameras would be there too as it's part of the prison complex

Jatuporn, as an ex-prisoner, explained the ubiquity of cameras was to ensure 24 hour coverage of prisoners.

Yes he is genuinely sick of prison after half a day ????

[bamnutsak]

Nang Yai meets Lakorn.

 

Much better for everyone to be honest about the situation. In the short term there will be some pain. But this endless theatre, subterfuge, and obfuscation is an epic fail as no one believes a word the authorities are saying.

 

This is like the footballer who takes a dive, and is up running full speed in 60 seconds.

Mr Jatuporn is not happy, he didn't get the just reward he thought he was getting from Taksin

Just sour grapes from Jatuporn. and why does he think he has the right to demand any video?

 

I'm not a lover of Takky, but surely showing CCTV of him either in prison or sick bed is a violation of his privacy.

Would static CCTV cameras show if Mr. T were having a hypertensive crisis? Heck no. Would the general public be qualified to judge his medical condition from such footage? Again, no.

The public might well be able to judge if he's sitting up in bed, smiling, busy on his phone.

Sour grapes...
