According to an advisor to the prime minister, Pichit Chuenban, former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra does returning home under a similar concept to that of her nephew Thaksin.

Mr Pichit said Yingluck, the government’s even female prime minister, fled abroad in 2017 immediately before a judge sentenced her to five years in jail for neglect in a rice subsidy scheme.

” There is nothing complicated about the [return ] process,” he said. ” It will depend on [Yingluck ] on when she decides to come home. “

Asked whether she plans to return to Thailand, Mr Pichit said he does n’t know yet. ” We have n’t been in contact for a long time. “

Tacsin, who was also found guilty of committing crimes, was granted a royal forgive upon his return, thereby lowering the sentence he was jailed for to one month. He is now on probation.

Mr. Pichit claimed that Yingluck might use a similar concept to make a return.

He claimed that the procedure is done in accordance with the law and is not regarded as a dual normal.

He said,” We have stayed true to the laws and the justice system’s principles.” ” The process is never complicated. She can use the same [method ] as Thaksin. “

Pichit: No hard to do

Pol Col Tawee Sodsong, Justice Minister, on Thursday   declined to comment on Yingluck’s possible return. He claimed, however, that a minister’s responsibility is to take into account the Department of Corrections ‘ constitutional procedure after her return.

There is a program for all individuals, he said. ” Everyone will be treated the same, and we have almost 300,000 individuals.” “

When asked if she would be sent to prison after landing in Thailand, he said “yes”, adding there is no dual normal.

He claimed that when there is a judge warrant for them, they will go to prison. If the criminal is a lady, she will be sent to a prison for adult individuals, he said.

Asked if Yingluck may use Thaksin’s design, Pol Col Tawee said” there is no design or anything like that”. The word “model” was created by the press, he said.

However, Nikorn Chamnong, president of a sub-committee studying social offences, told the media yesterday that the screen is preparing to consider a review to congress about the effects of granting an asylum to those found guilty of 25 politically-motivated offences committed since 2005, including scholar protesters.

When questioned about whether Yingluck could receive an asylum, Mr. Nikorn claimed the board is not going over her case.
