"Thaksin Shinawatra, who is 76 years old, will walk out of prison on May 11 and will need to comply with all conditions until his probation ends, including wearing an electronic monitor."
"Shinawatra was sentenced to an eight-year prison term as soon as he returned to Thailand in 2023. Days later, the king commuted his sentence to a one-year term, fueling speculations that he had made a deal with the government friendly to him."
Thaksin Shinawatra, former prime minister of Thailand, is set to be released on parole on May 11 after serving a one-year prison term for corruption. His early release is justified by his age and the remaining time on his sentence. Shinawatra began serving his sentence in September 2023 following a court ruling related to his return from self-exile. He was ousted in a military coup in 2006 and faced multiple charges, which he claims were politically motivated. The king commuted his original eight-year sentence to one year.
