Prisoners in Thai jails (including the one Thaksin was in) are not shackled and are provided with toilets (and showers), not holes in the ground.

not sure if it is still practiced but some inmates used to get shackled for the first month or something.

Maybe that used to be the case many years ago (they also used to execute prisoners by shooting in the heart through the back on a wooden X-frame!). No prisoners, these days, are shackled in normal circumstances in Thai prisons unless they are being punished for severe prison rules violations.  Sometimes, depending on the circumstances, shackles may be used for inmates being taken out of prison for court appearances, if that cannot be done by video.

But, then, you (nor anyone else) have not seen his private medical records, so both your "AFAIK" and your "diagnosis" is nonsense.   

His daughter did report that he did have surgery a week or so ago.

He walked out of the airplane , went straight to hospital , cannot walk out of the hospital anymore  ... What YOU say is nonsense , as so often , but some people know everything better ... always . Boring .

Where was it reported that he "cannot walk"?  Patients in hospital are generally moved around in chairs or beds.

[retarius]

If his condition is stable, why can he not go back to prison to be looked after there?

I was attempting to portray the hypocrisy being shown for the ex prime minister .

Too bad the government doesn't make him spend his full sentence time in a prison cell after the hospital stay, which would put an end this charade. 

[retarius]

Is it stable good for stable bad? The main thing is though, have the activists been given copies yet so we can have the benefit of their informed and learned opinion.

[madmitch]

Do they actually believe that anyone is fooled by this charade?

 

You need to be practically on death's door to spend the amount of time in hospital that he has.

 

And we'll all be amazed when he makes a full recovery on the day of his parole!
