Political activist Srisuwan Janya intends to request that the Thai Medical Council ( TMC ) launch an ethics investigation into the doctor at the Police General Hospital( PGH ) who imprisoned Thaksin Shinawatra.
According to his news, Mr. Srisuwan will deliver the request at the TMC’s workplace in Nonthaburi at 10 a.m. on Tuesday.
Thaksin, 74, was sentenced to a total of eight times in three cases when he returned to Thailand on August 22 after 15 years of self-imposed transportation. He was, nevertheless, almost promptly transferred that evening from Bangkok Remand Prison to the PGH due to health reasons. He had been in the clinic for 62 times as of Monday.
The director-general of the Department of Corrections’ ( DoC ) decision to approve Thaksin’s stay extension, according to Mr. Srisuwan, was dubious and suggested that the department was bestowing special privileges on the resident.
According to Sections 31 – 42 of the Medical Profession Act BE 2525 ( 1982 ), he claimed that the medical team’s action constituted a breach of ethics.
According to Mr. Srisuwan, the public may require that the TMC look into their ethics.
Members of the Network of Students and People Reforming Thailand staged a protest earlier on Sunday outside the PGH, claiming they wanted to” visit” Thaksin.
A team member named Pichit Chaimongkol stated that the group is interested in scientific details regarding Thaksin’s condition and anticipated discharge date.
They even questioned the DoC’s objectivity because, unlike Thaksin, some political prisoners earlier, like Ekachai Hongkangwan and Parit” Penguin” Chiwarak, were not transferred to the PGH despite having serious ailments.
Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn, the deputy police chief, corroborated the party’s assertion that he had made arrangements for some of the people to pay a visit to Thaksin. He did not, however, provide an exact time for the meeting.
The group’s opposition was still going on on Monday because the PGH medical team had not responded.
According to Pol Gen Surachate, officers from the Pathumwan Police Station were manning the gate to CentralWorld, where the rally was being held.
