THE ADMINISTRATIVE COURT WILL be shortly petitioned to judge whether de facto Pheu Thai boss/convict at large Thaksin Shinawatra is clinically or “politically” ill.
Political activist Srisuwan Janya confirmed today (Dec.1) he will shortly file a petition to the Administrative Court in search of a ruling on whether the de facto Pheu Thai boss/convict at large may have fallen clinically ill, thus needing a sustained medical treatment at Police Hospital, or may have simply feigned it all to keep himself from being literally put behind bars.
The Administrative Court may subpoena any persons dutifully taking care of the “sickly” Thaksin who has been staying in a private, tightened-security ward at Police Hospital for more than 100 days now for testimony, Srisuwan said.
Importantly, he said, the court may order for the manifestation of truthful evidence pertaining to details of the “illnesses” reportedly inflicted upon the de facto Pheu Thai boss/convict at large to justify his further stay at the hospital in lieu of Bangkok Remand Prison.
Officials of the Corrections Department and Police Hospital could no longer keep his “illnesses” details in confidentiality if ordered by court to unveil them, Srisuwan said.
Only inmates who may have been diagnosed with being mentally deranged or carrying a pandemic may be legally allowed to be transferred to any hospitals other than that in the premises of a prison whilst the “sickly” Thaksin has apparently not fitted in any of those categories, he said.
Those in charge of the Corrections Department and Police Hospital could possibly be found guilty by court of applying double standards or using legal loopholes to provide undue privileges for the “sickly” deposed prime minister who has been staying at the hospital since his return from abroad on Aug.22, according to the activist.
However, the details of the “illnesses” of the de facto Pheu Thai boss/convict at large who had apparently managed to find his way from Bangkok Remand Prison to Police Hospital have mostly remained a mystery to the public.
The hospital had earlier announced he had safely undergone an operation but failed to mention what part of his body had been operated.
In the meantime, the deposed prime minister was said to have taken part in the power play over the setup of a Pheu Thai-led government and allocation of cabinet portfolios among coalition partners, literally giving out orders via a cellphone from his private ward at the hospital to Pheu Thai wheeler-dealer Phumtham Wechayachai.
Thaksin who had taken self-exile overseas following the 2006 coup had been earlier found guilty of perpetrating misconduct in office and sentenced in absentia to eight years in prison which was already curtailed by royal pardon to only one year with the probability of being released on parole as soon as in the upcoming February.
