From 22 August 2023 at Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra former prime minister Arrive in Thailand and was sent from prison to receive treatment on the 14th floor of the Police Hospital. Until now, he will have completed his sentence of 180 days, which is considered 1 of 3 people eligible for a suspended sentence, along with being a prisoner who is over 70 years of age and has a medical condition. Previously, the Department of Corrections admitted that The prisoner’s sentence is being considered. One of which has Mr. Thaksin Included
For the suspension of Mr. Thaksin It is expected that a general suspension basis will be required. “Ministerial regulations strictly determine the benefits of prisoners. and the conditions that prisoners strictly enforce which received a reduction of days spent in prison or suspension of punishment and release must be carried out, B.E.2562”
Because previously in the inner circle Mr. Thaksin wants to use the criteria. “Regulations of the Department of Corrections on procedures for detention in detention facilities, B.E.2566″
By allowing prisoners to be detained outside of prison. Especially at home But no high-ranking official from the Department of Corrections dared to sit on the committee. to sign approval to consider prisoners to receive the aforementioned criteria, especially Mr. Thaksin because it may be viewed as being beneficial and it is likely that he will be stuck on the schedule due to dishonesty in his duties
while Pol.Col. Thawee Sodsong The Minister of Justice stated that it is expected that on February 12, the Corrections Department will submit a report on the names of prisoners who will receive suspended sentences. The person the media is looking forward to is Thaksin’s name.
But it appears that on February 12, the reporter asked about the case to the advisor to the Minister of Justice. Mr. Somboon Muangklam I tried to answer evasively. “This matter cannot be answered much. Because it is a matter of the rights of prisoners It is currently in the process of being submitted to the Minister. But according to tradition, we won’t tell you first. Because it is a violation of rights The news will appear only after the inmates are released. Confirming that whether the suspension falls on Saturday or Sunday, he must be released according to the rights he has received.”
However, there is speculation that the name Mr. Thaksin It will be in the first lot when the Department of Corrections will present a list of prisoners who have received a suspended sentence to the Minister of Justice. and will be released within this month Which when counting the days until the 180 day sentence has expired will be the day 18 Feb. You will be able to return to stay at Ban Chan Song La.
Just like that “Ung Ink” Paethongtarn Shinawatra The daughter and leader of the Pheu Thai Party said that the house was already prepared. But it all depends on the process of the Ministry of Justice.
At the same time, what we need to keep an eye on is the case of Mr. Thaksin It will create a trend of dissatisfaction in society. Until the point of explosion? Because it has been criticized for having trampled the justice process until it was shattered. Because he had never been imprisoned for even a day. Even after receiving a pardon, the sentence was reduced from 8 years to 1 year and claiming that he had to receive treatment for a critical illness. There are probably very few people who are truly sick. It is only seen as “Conspiracy” using state power and the government’s protection and care until they were called “angel prisoners”
Also Thailand Reform Student Network Group (CDC) and Center for Citizens Protecting Institutions (CDC) Came to submit a letter to the Ministry of Justice to oppose Thaksin’s suspended sentence
Considering that “Thaksin is an absolute prisoner in corruption cases who is not even in jail. So how can Thaksin be suspended if he hasn’t been punished for a day? Giving privileges to one person without taking the law into account But let’s take Thaksin as the starting point.”
Another issue that still needs to be watched is The seizure of Thaksin from the Section 112 case after being accused of committing crimes outside the Kingdom. Referring to the Institute in Seoul, South Korea in 2015, previously Mr. Prayut Phetkhun Spokesperson of the Attorney General’s Office Deputy Chief Prosecutor Special Case Office Tell the prosecutor’s opinion in 3 pages: 1. Examine additional facts. If it is seen that the facts are not complete, 2. order a lawsuit if the facts are sufficient, and 3. do not order a lawsuit. If the behavior is not considered an offense
This must be considered in accordance with the request for justice. Thaksin argued that What defenses are there that can change the facts in the expression? If no additional information is provided Cannot change the original order.
Mr. Naken Thongpraiwan Deputy Spokesperson of the Attorney General’s Office Said in this matter: At this time, the Department of Corrections has not issued an order to suspend Thaksin’s sentence. But the investigative officer reported the seizure. and the Department of Corrections responded to the seizure on August 28, 2023. In this case, if the sentence is suspended The prison must notify the teaching staff to pick up Thaksin and take him into custody. Which will need to be considered for temporary release at the investigative level. or taken to the court to request detention Before reporting the detention results to the prosecutor, how Thaksin was detained
A statement from the Attorney General’s spokesperson made it known that Mr. Thaksin is being prosecuted under Section 112 and must be seized for further prosecution But the Department of Corrections has not yet issued a letter informing them, including Minister of Justice – Pol.Col. Thawee It is still a matter of the Department of Corrections, including Mr. Settha Thaweesin The Prime Minister, who lashed out back and forth, refused to explain.
Therefore, at this moment we have to keep an eye on what will finally happen. Will Thaksin receive a reprieve? Including whether they will be prosecuted for an offense under Section 112 or not. Moreover, will they receive the right to bail in this case or not?
But it looks like he might get bail. Because of this case Mr. Thaksin There was no escape behavior. and has a main address as a source In particular, during the period of suspension of sentence, one must reside at the address reported to the prison. And do not leave the area of your residence without permission.
Therefore, it remains to be seen how long the star Rahu will orbit Thaksin.
