Jailed former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is set to be released on February 18, according to Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin. Thaksin, 74, is among the 930 inmates approved for parole this month due to being over 70 years old and suffering from serious illness. He was granted parole and has been in hospital detention since his return to Thailand in August 2023. His prison term was reduced to one year by Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn following his request for a royal pardon.
