Junta chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha Friday night said the cases related to Thai surrogate mothers may receive leniency on case-by-case basis.
Speaking during his weekly TV programme, Prayuth expressed concerned for hired Thai surrogate mothers.
"Thai women who have agreed to be surrogate mothers will avoid seeing doctors in hospitals for fear of being prosecuted, and cannot return to clinics that have been shut down," Prayuth said. "The exception is possible on a case-by-case basis, if evidence is presented."
He said the Public Health Ministry needs to look into the issue.
