The privileges enjoyed by former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was found guilty, could lead to problems for the government in the future, according to a legislator who urged it to handle all prisoners pretty.

Senator Thawil Pliensri reported that Thaksin, 74, spent about 13 days at the Bangkok Remand Prison before being transferred to the Police General Hospital during the next day of the discussion on the government’s plan speech in parliament on Tuesday.

After experiencing chest pain, hypertension, and lower body air on the night of August 22, the evening he returned to Thailand and was imprisoned, Thaksin receives medical attention in a secret place at Royal Suite 1401 on space 14 of the Maha Bhumibol Rachanusorn 88 Phansa Building.

He has spent more than 20 days in the hospital and is permitted to receive 10 customers per time. Additionally, he was granted a royal reprimand, which reduced his eight-year prison sentence to just one year.

Mr. Thawil claims that as a result, he is now urging the government to address all prisoners fairly.

” I implore the state to uphold its judicial standards and rules.” All of Thaksin’s protections could upend a lot of people, which could result in unforeseen events in the future, he said.

In the meantime, Thaksin was charged with violating Section 112 of the Criminal Code, also known as the Lese Majeste Law, by Praphrut Chatprapachai, a legal professional and previous Democrat MP member.

According to Mr. Praphrut, Thaksin spoke with North Korean advertising in 2015 about the king. The now-defunct National Peace Keeping Council’s former assistant defense minister and minister general, Gen Udomdej Sitabutr, had given the Department of the Judge Advocate General instructions to sue Thaksin.

The Office of the Attorney General ( OAG) filed the lawsuit. In 2015, the Criminal Court granted Thaksin an arrest warrant after accepting the situation for prosecution.

As a result, he pleaded with Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin to give the authorities the go-ahead to prosecute Thaksin.

According to him, if the government doesn’t do this, it could open a gap that would allow organizations or other people to ask it to release prisoners who had broken Part 112 by asserting their justice. This could eventually result in calls for the Section to be amended.
