thaksin shinawatra

Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra underwent surgery last week and is currently in the recovery phase, says his daughter  Patongtarn Shinawatra, the head of the Shinawatra family.

The Deputy Minister of Justice has affirmed that ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra remains at Police General Hospital and has refrained from visits for the first 5 days, in accordance with the regulations.

Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra was transferred to hospital as he had high blood pressure on the first night in jail after his return from exile.

Deputy Pime Minister and Acting Justice Minister Wissanu Krue-ngam ordered the Corrections Department to provide safety and appropriate convenience to former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra as he is set to return to Thailand on Aug 10 after 15 years in self-imposed exile.
