BANGKOK, Aug 30 — Former Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is preparing documentation to draft a request for a royal pardon, but when it would be submitted was at his discretion, his lawyer said today.
Hours after his arrival, Srettha Thavisin of the Shinawatra family-backed Pheu Thai party sailed through a parliamentary vote to become prime minister, fuelling speculation that Thaksin had struck a deal with his former enemies among the country’s conservative and royalist military that ousted his governments in 2006 and 2014.During his first night in Thailand, he was moved to a police hospital with chest pains and high blood pressure.
“Thaksin is proceeding on his own and is currently in the preparatory stages of documentation and drafting the request,” Winyat said, adding the legal team has not seen the request.
