Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra released
Thaksin Shinawatra, former Thai PM, was released on parole after a hospital stay. Uncertain return to public life could spark protests. Thaksin’s supporters have stayed away, but some feel he hasn’t yet paid his debt to society and worry that his return could reignite street protests. Meanwhile, a new party promising reform threatens Thaksin’s Perth Thai party, which won the last election. Thaksin’s former lawyer believes he’ll be instrumental in healing old wounds and moving the country forward, but recent high-profile cases of less majesty, including a possible charge against Thaksin himself, send a message not to meddle in politics. As Thaksin returns home for the first time as a free man in 15 years, the gates to his residence are firmly shut, leaving his future in public life uncertain.
