Summary
Speculation about Thaksin’s release had circulated on Thai social media since April. The former PM was sentenced to a year in prison following his controversial stay at Police General Hospital in Bangkok after his return from the self-exile.
According to reports, Thaksin qualified for parole due to several factors considered under correctional regulations, including his age, underlying health conditions, previous contributions to the country, and good behaviour while in prison.
