HOUSE COMMITTEE ON POLICE Affairs Chair Chaichana Dejdecho today (Feb. 22) categorically denied that his Democrat colleagues have quietly hatched a partisan move to keep self-exiled, deposed prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra from practically following in the footsteps of her brother/de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict on parole Thaksin Shinawatra.

 

The House committee chair, concurrently a Democrat MP of Nakhon Sri Thammarat, confirmed his partisan lawmakers had earlier drafted legislation to amend corrections of convicts without intent to use it against any specific individuals including Yingluck who has been living in self-exile abroad in the face of a five-year jail sentence earlier delivered to her for convicted misconduct pertaining to her Pheu Thai government’s rice subsidy campaign run over a decade ago.

 

Nevertheless, Chaichana insisted the judicial procedures for all convicts be carried out with transparency and without use of legal loopholes or double standards unlike those contentiously applied to the allegedly powerful, privileged de facto Pheu Thai boss-cum-convict on parole.

 

Yingluck who had quietly pushed for the naming of former real estate mogul Srettha Thavisin as prime minister following last year’s election is largely believed to sooner or later follow in the footsteps of her brother who has never spent a single day behind bars at Bangkok Remand Prison and had been instead granted privileges to stay in a private ward at Police Hospital for mystery-shrouded “illnesses” for six months since he returned from self-exile abroad last August

I have a feeling, Yingluck will be coming home soon and not unlike his brother, with a serious illness that will require hospitalization and then she will become miraculously well....

She's still a hottie. 😜

Well, returning to Thailand worked very well for her brother, so I’m sure she’s thinking about doing the same thing TIT

So it's true then ?

Come on A.N. up your game.

The legal and medical experts who have given us so much fun over the past 6 months with their incisive posts on Mr T's health and legal status need more red meat than this tame offering.

One charge was dismissed, "illegal" personnel transfer. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/2023/12/27/yingluck-lawyer-explains-how-his-client-got-her-court-case-dismissed/

 

She's still on the hook for the rice scheme. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-41410047

 

The Amnesty Bill would cover her but that's jammed up in Parliament.

 

I guess she could come back, get a Royal Pardon, and spend some time in the hospital. Voila.

Come on guys. There must be a few more facetious adjectives that you can throw in there.
