In an unexpected development, Thailand's Justice Minister, Police Major General Thawee Sodsong, has voiced apprehensions regarding the healthcare provided to former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra during his time in custody.

 

Police Lieutenant General Thawee, who supervises the Ministry of Justice, emphasized that every inmate possesses the entitlement to receive suitable medical attention, noting that more than 50,000 prisoners exercised this right in the year 2022, reported INN.

 

Police Lieutenant General Thawee underscored the significance of conforming to global standards for the treatment of detainees, ensuring compliance with international agreements that proscribe torture and ensure the safety of those detained.

 

Concerning the specific medical care afforded to Thaksin Shinawatra, Police Lieutenant General Thawee elucidated that determinations concerning his treatment at a hospital, whether it be a state or police hospital, should be made by the attending physician. Prison authorities lack the prerogative to issue directives in this matter.

 

He also emphasized that those casting doubts on Thaksin's medical condition should refrain from questioning the authenticity of his ailment, as the government is adhering to legal and ethical principles.

 

While investigations into this case are ongoing, Police Lieutenant General Thawee underscored the paramount importance of upholding the law. He confirmed that the right to seek medical treatment or temporary release is accessible to all prisoners.

 

However, specific details remain undisclosed due to privacy concerns. Nevertheless, trust is vested in the Department of Corrections to oversee prisoners in accordance with their rights.

Don't they all at the trough? They seem to get away with it! 

Thaksin has got friends it seems.

I stick my neck out here to say that this minister not impartial and really think that all other 50K prisoners needing medical care get the same treatments Thaksin get i.e personal care and attention, private rooms and prolong stay at the hospital...

He needs to be released so that he can get out and breath some fresh Bangkok carbon monoxide. ????

I don't think I can actually say what medical care I think he should get on this forum, but I hope he gets it soon.

I'd be surprised if he spends a single day in prison.

The guy has got his begging bowl out and is rattling it to attract Thaksin's attention for hand-outs when the full pardon comes into force.

Well said. Too many idiots wanna be doctors putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 56.

Totally agree with what the Maj-Gen said but don't forget he has a crease put into his pyjama bottoms on a Sunday Monday And Friday ????

Soon we will also know the date of the miraculous quick healing ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Maybe he needs to be treated at his estate in Dubai? ????????????

It's a real pity he didn't the whole world just how much money Taksin has paid him to do this and make sure he stays in his beautiful luxury hospital room until his 8 minute sentence finishes next week

white wash comments from another official. Prolonging the special treatment of a con man and convicted criminal.

Do not question the government you did not elect, nor its authorities whose legal and ethical principles are well-documented and showcased on a near daily basis..., says the Police Lieutenant General.

"50,000 prisoners exercised this right in the year 2022"

Could it be, that the conditions at the Bangkok Hilton are not quite Five Stars; just wondering! 

What a load of _______.
