Photo: Matichon DE FACTO PHEU THAI BOSS-CUM-CONVICT Thaksin Shinawatra has already been granted parole, confirmed Justice Minister Thawee Sodsong today (Feb.13). After spending half of his curtailed, one-year jail sentence accounting for a six-month period at Police Hospital since August, the de facto Pheu Thai boss is being released on parole among a total of 930 convicts, according to the justice minister. Thawee said Thaksin has been granted parole due to his being over 70 years old and having “critical illnesses”, albeit shrouded in secrecy from the public. The billionaire, politically powerful Thaksin is expected to return to his Chan Song Lah residence on the Thonburi side of the capital immediately after being released from Police Hospital where he has been staying for nearly six months now, according to Pheu Thai leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra, daughter of the de facto party boss.

He has yet to be a prisoner, and if fit enough to walk is fit enough to be in jail. What a scam! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted February 13 Popular Post Share Posted February 13 (edited) This was always going to happen. It was a quid pro quo with the spectacularly toxic and corrupt army. When his party capitulated, and allowed the army continued control, it was a done deal. Yingluck will likely return too. The greedy ones can continue feeding at the trough. It is always about money and the power for them. This useless institution is a boil on the face of the nation. Let's see what happens with the senators. The army is likely maneuvering now to extend their terms. The moral rot continues. Any moral authority the nation once had, is gone baby gone. Fortunately, little of this affects us directly. For now. Edited February 13 by spidermike007 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been acceptable had the same referential treatment was given to other convicted criminals in similar circumstances, but Oh no, he was singled out and got the super duper extra consideration and liniancy treatment... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
