Chalerm: Royal pardon decree not aimed at helping particular person

Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung said Thursday that the draft royal pardon decree has been drafted according to the legal framework.

 

Chalerm said the decree was not drafted with an intention to help a particular person.
Critics said the criteria for convicts to be eligible for royal pardon on His Majesty’s birthday were designed to help former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra escape jail term.
Chalerm said if the opposition submits an interpollation to question him about the draft decree, he would be able to explain the issue.
