Imprisoned Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra has been transferred to a hospital. His daughter says Thaksin is suffering from fatigue and stress.
led by Thaksin's sister, Yingluck Shinawatra, from power in 2014. It also excluded the progressive Move Forward Party, which won the most votes in the elections, from the coalition.
It is widely believed that the divisive former leader returned out of hope that a friendly government would reduce his sentence, and that he may have made a deal with authorities, although Thaksin has said his decision had nothing to do with the Pheu Thai party’s bid for power. The outgoing government said Thaksin can request a royal pardon like any other prisoner.
Asked about the controversy over his hospitalization, Paetongtarn replied only that she was worried about him being sick. She said the duration of his stay is up to the medical staff. Thaksin’s return from exile was an emotional moment for supporters of the billionaire, who won the loyalty of millions with populist policies that directed attention and funding to the country’s largely rural, impoverished north before he was removed by the military coup. His reemergence recalls years of pitched battles — both figurative and sometimes literal — between his"red shirt" supporters and"yellow shirt" opponents who champion conservative, royalist values.
