Ex-PM on return to Thailand after 15 years in exile.
Thailand’s former premier Thaksin Shinawatra will be closely monitored during his time in prison due to his existing health conditions, including issues with his blood pressure, lungs, heart and his spine, prison officials said on Tuesday.
The officials told a press conference Thaksin, who returned from exile earlier on Tuesday, would be kept at a wing that had its own medical equipment to ensure he received timely treatment, due to his advanced age.
