    Bangkok: Thailand’s former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been granted parole after serving six months in detention, announced Prime Minister on Tuesday. Thaksin, a polarizing figure in Thai politics, made a high-profile return to the country after 15 years of self-exile to evade imprisonment due to a conflict of interest conviction.

    The decision to grant parole to the influential Thaksin, who is considered one of Thailand’s most prominent leaders, comes amid considerable controversy and speculation. Thaksin, aged 74, met the parole criteria due to his age, serious illnesses, and having served a portion of his one-year prison term, according to Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong.

    The parole approval for Thaksin has stirred debate and criticism, with many questioning the circumstances surrounding his release. Reports indicate that Thaksin had not spent a single night behind bars since his return to Thailand. Instead, he has been receiving treatment at the Police General Hospital, prompting skepticism about the fairness of his parole.

    Thaksin’s parole eligibility has been a subject of scrutiny, with conflicting reports emerging regarding the completion of his jail term. While initial reports suggested that Thaksin had completed half of his one-year sentence, it remains unclear when exactly he will be released as the Justice Ministry finalizes proceedings.

    Thaksin’s return to Thailand in August 2023 was met with legal repercussions stemming from past corruption cases, leading to his immediate imprisonment. However, his health condition prompted a transfer to a hospital, where he has remained for the past six months.

    The decision to grant parole to Thaksin has reignited debates about the fairness of the justice system in Thailand, with critics arguing that it underscores issues of political influence and privilege. Thaksin’s daughter, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who leads the Pheu Thai Party, has confirmed that preparations have been made for his return to the family home upon his release.

    The parole approval for Thaksin Shinawatra reflects the complexities and controversies surrounding Thai politics and the justice system, raising questions about accountability and equality before the law. As Thaksin’s release draws near, the decision is likely to continue sparking discussions and debates across the country.
