BANGKOK : A senior Justice Ministry official and the Corrections Department chief insisted on Thursday that former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra was still receiving treatment at the Police General Hospital and would not be easily allowed to be moved to a more comfortable private hospital.
“He’s definitely inside the Police Hospital but his photos cannot be shared because dissemination of inmates’ photos is prohibited, whose rights are protected by the law,” Sahakarn said.The deputy permanent secretary said there was no reason to transfer Thaksin from the police hospital to a private hospital because doctors at the Police General Hospital can handle his medical conditions.
The deputy permanent secretary said relatives could not visit Thaksin during the first five days of his stay in the hospital. He said he had met Thaksin only once when he was first sent to the prison when Thaksin had not yet changed into the inmate uniform.
