According to Thai media news, recently, the Thai Prison Department issued new regulations on serving sentences outside prisons, so that former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who is being treated and serving sentences in the Thai police hospital, has been pushed to the forefront again, and the outside world directly pointed out that the regulations will benefit him.
On December 14, according to Thai media news, Thaksin's daughter and leader of the Pheu Thai Party, Bei Dongdan, responded to reporters in an interview on this matter, saying that the above regulations have existed since 2017 and were not promulgated for anyone, and it is not yet known whether his father Thaksin meets the requirements. She said that as a child, she naturally hopes that her father will be released from prison as soon as possible, and that other matters will be left to the prison department in accordance with the judicial process, including the doctors, because this is something that cannot be controlled.
The only thing that can be done at the moment is for the family to encourage each other, as the father has brought a lot of benefits to the country, he added. At the same time, she also hopes that her father can be strong and use his knowledge and ability to make the country better and better in the future without going backwards, which is also her intention and hope to achieve.
