Popular Post snoop1130 Posted February 13 Popular Post Share Posted February 13 Convicted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is expected to be released this Sunday, as he is on the latest list of 930 prisoners granted parole, according to Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong today. The minister said he has already approved the list of prisoners who qualify for parole. “The Corrections Department proposed a list of convicts for me to approve. Of the 945 prisoners named, 930 met the criteria, which include grave illness, being handicapped or being over 70,” he said. Thaksin is 74 and suffers from a ‘serious illness’, which has enabled him to stay in the Police General Hospital for many months. After being convicted on corruption charges in August last year, he spent only a few hours in prison before being transferred to the hospital.

retarius Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I thought the haters would like to see the Guardian's reporting of this auspicious event. Apparently Thaksin has been jailed and will now be freed. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/13/former-thai-pm-thaksin-shinawatra-jail-release-corruption-charges 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is justice ??? In the same place that justice is meted out to ALL the generals who make a military coup against their elected government. And if you are really bad then you get punished by being sent to join the Privy Council.
