Popular Post webfact Posted October 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2023 The Thai Corrections Department’s director-general has agreed to allow convicted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to remain at the Police General Hospital for medical treatment, as recommended by his doctors. The extension order was signed 24 hours before Thaksin’s stay at the hospital reaches its 60th day tomorrow (Sunday). It was not specified in the order how long Thaksin will stay at the hospital, as the decision rests with the doctors in charge of treating him. Anti-Thaksin groups and activists have described the treatment of the convicted former prime minster as an example of double-standards, noting that, since his arrival in Thailand on August 22nd, after his 15-year self-imposed exile abroad to avoid incarceration, he has not spent a day behind bars. They also demand an explanation from the doctors about the actual illnesses, which necessitates his treatment at the Police General Hospital, instead of in the hospital of the Corrections Department.

Corrections Department director-general Sahakarn Petnarin has already allowed the “sickly” Thaksin to stay on at Police Hospital beyond the 60-day limit, which is otherwise scheduled to end tomorrow (Oct.22) though details of his “illnesses” have invariably remained a mystery to the public. How much longer the de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict could possibly be allowed to stay at the hospital will primarily depend on decisions of the doctors who have been taking care of him, according to the department chief.

I do wonder, were they to hold one of those NIDA polls, (you know, the ones asking a representative sample of 2000 people, from a variety of age groups, occupations and locations) what percentage would actually give a damn? Amongst those who supported him, well he has come back, and his faction are in government ( sort off) so they are not too fussed. Those who opposed him, for the most part, it was not because of crimes, real or imagined, but because at his most popular (and powerful) he represented an existential threat to their leaders hegemony, that threat is largely tamed now by the manoeuvres which produced this government, and the further threats to it are from elsewhere (and may well rock their complacency fairly soon). They are not too fussed. Edited October 23, 2023 by herfiehandbag 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bamnutsak Posted October 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 23, 2023 I think they need to release some details on the convict's medical condition(s). Yes, I know they've invoked privacy concerns but the convict is a public figure, and the public needs to be assured that the "system" is not being bent in his favor. I recall many times when Rama 9 was hospitalized when Doctors gave lengthy briefings on his condition. Even general statements like "his health is improving/stable/getting worse". Radio silence on this matter does no one any good, even the convict. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
