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.

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.

Walk free, but I thought he was at deaths door in hospital for the last few months?

The minister said he has already approved the list of prisoners who qualify for parole.

He has yet to be a prisoner, and if fit enough to walk is fit enough to be in jail. What a scam!

There are lots of politicians who match that description.

Why single out the only one who helped the poor?

What's another phrase for that green foamy substance in a pond ?

How can he get paroled, you need to be jailed first?

He didn't pull the wool over anyone's eyes. Everyone knew exactly what was going to happen and that it has surprises absolutely no-one. No-one would have expected anything different.

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...
