Parliament, ‘Somsak’ accepts ‘Thaksin’ meets the criteria for new correctional regulations. But he never went in to take advantage of his children. Going back and asking the media, have you ever been to jail? It only takes a few nights to get seriously ill.
Mr. Somsak Thepsuthin, Deputy Prime Minister Discussing the current news of the Department of Corrections that has its own name involved. In the case of issuing the 2020 Ministerial Regulation, the 2017 Corrections Act is a law issued during a period of government that was not elected. Before he became an MP, after the election in 2019 he became the Minister of Justice. The Ministerial Regulation, Section 33, has been issued regarding classification of behavior and medical treatment. as well as preparation before releasing prisoners in 2020. Later, there will be government officials former government official And the Human Rights Commission came to see him. to request that there be a place of detention outside of the prison both with prisoners, inmates, or those accused who should not have to go to prison which he agreed with Therefore, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry and the working group of the Ministry of Justice Proceed with this matter But the matter was not finished yet. He also resigned from the Minister of Justice. and have come to see the regulations of the Department of Corrections that have been issued during this period and has been mentioned causing many people to come and ask Which the whip admitted that During the period when the law was passed it was a good law. So he asked him to help explain. and understand the public In the part that will enter the separation process to be more international. As a result, news came out that Is there a benefit to any particular inmate? To which he explained that it was not a justice process within an international framework.
‘Classification of prisoners and there was a prison outside that prison. It is carried out according to international principles and this law allows it to be carried out in this way. But the process must be followed in its entirety according to the criteria, but imprisonment is a serious punishment. will not be classified This is a matter of understanding. Now that’s a good thing. There is an example in the case of a former prime minister who is in detention. This will be useful in explaining penology. He was happy to answer questions about the parts that still conflicted with people’s feelings. And are there still any issues that should be clarified? In this capacity as he is also supervising the Ministry of Justice. I didn’t go and pick up the child. But review what has happened in the past,’ Mr. Somsak said.
For the case of Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra, former Prime Minister Will he meet the newly released criteria of the Department of Corrections or not? Mr. Somsak said that he meets the criteria because as far as he can see, the sentence is not more than 4 years and he is not a person who is in the midst of something frightening to society. But it is a punishment in a way that does not pose a threat to society. So you can stay in detention. and the punishment is less than 1 year.
When asked about the news that The fact that Mr. Somsak joined the Pheu Thai Party Because there is mutual benefit in this part, Mr. Somsak said, “Not at all,” adding that If he thinks he must join the Pheu Thai Party He must have finished it at that time. But he didn’t think. It follows the pattern It’s a development of the law from 2017. I didn’t think about which political party it would belong to. But the law has evolved to become international.
Mr. Somsak confirmed that this is the development of the Hai Hai Law. and it is an opportunity for the country Luckily, there’s an important case here that’s piqued people’s interest. and came out to explain But when he saw that events were beginning to move in another direction Therefore, we must speak for society to understand. while emphasizing that ‘the Department of Corrections does not have greater power than the court.’
Mr. Somsak further said that there are 5 types of criminal punishment administration, but in the Department of Corrections, there are 2 types: death penalty and imprisonment. This imprisonment It is not reserved only for prisons. At this time, as far as we know, the official preparations are unofficial. There are over 10,000 people with sentences of less than 4 years. This is not just this case. But they are similar events.
‘Fortunate to be able to explain this case to the public. Because there are VIPs here that make people interested in following. But this was not done in this particular case. Or is it beneficial,’ Mr. Somsak said.
Mr. Somsak went on to say that Mr. Thaksin’s stay at the hospital for more than 120 days was based on the doctor’s opinion. and the powers of the Ministry of Justice which is normal And from this month’s statistics There were nearly 150 people who had to be hospitalized for more than 30 days, not just 1-2 people, in the past there were many. but did not reveal Mr. Thaksin is a person of public interest. If there were someone who would explain such matters to society to understand. Society will accept it and move forward.
When asked about Mr. Thaksin’s good health while abroad. But upon arrival in Thailand, he became ill. Is this considered strange or not? Mr. Somsak asked, ‘Well, you have never been imprisoned. You try it for a couple of days. Life is stressful. We lose our freedom or things that we used to have. Try going to sleep for a night or two. You can’t sleep. As people get older, their blood pressure increases. Sick’ which in this case the commander The prison and the director-general also saw it as a risk. Upon seeing the incident, he was transferred to the hospital to ensure the safety of the inmates. And in order not to take responsibility for yourself. Who has never gone to jail? never been imprisoned Try going for one or two nights. It will be found that stress is the root cause of many illnesses. For example, diabetes and blood pressure come into play. and asked the reporter if he had ever had a cold or allergies. A person who cannot sleep for two nights will become seriously ill. I myself am too, now I have a lot of illnesses. The more people in prison it is something to sympathize with.
When asked if it would be possible to reveal just the name of Mr. Thaksin’s disease, Mr. Somsak confirmed that this part is the responsibility of the Department of Corrections. I just came to speak academically.
