Thaksin Shinawatra Freed on Parole, Reemerging in Thai Politics

Thailand’s former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, 76, has been released on parole from Bangkok’s Klong Prem Central Prison after serving about eight months of a one-year sentence for a corruption-related charge; he will wear an electronic ankle monitor for the remainder of his sentence. The parole, granted for good behavior and his age, comes as his long-dominant Pheu Thai party has seen waning influence, though it remains part of the governing coalition.
