Mr. Rangsiman stated on Thursday that the commission has given all parties an opportunity to clarify themselves and address public concerns about promises that Thaksin received exclusive medical care.
The MP urged Thaksin to travel in and explain the situation so that all questions can be dispelled if he is convinced that he did nothing wrong.

Corrections staff members decided that he needed to be moved to Police General Hospital on the first day of his remain at Bangkok Remand Prison. Six months later, after meeting the requirements for pardon, he walked out of the facility without a single night of jail time.
