On Saturday, Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister, told reporters that Thaksin’s release would take place “on the 18th” jailed and that it would be conducted “according to the rule of law” before climbing into an aircraft.
It follows this week’s announcement by Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong that Thaksin, 74, would be one of 930 inmates to be allowed early release. He belongs to people above 70 or in a severe state. After six months, he will be automatically released,” the minister declared.
Thai media have reported he could be released very early in the morning, but Srettha said he did not know any details.
Thaksin’s homecoming coincided with his Pheu Thai party returning to government in alliance with pro-military parties, leading many to conclude that an agreement had been struck to cut his jail time.
