Bangkok: Dr. Tul Sitthisamwong, a lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, has raised concerns about witnesses providing inaccurate information during the investigation of Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra's stay at the Police General Hospital.
According to Thai News Agency, Dr. Tul highlighted the issue of inconsistent statements given by witnesses regarding Mr. Thaksin's illness, which led to his treatment on the 14th floor of the hospital.
Dr. Tul stressed that the court had scheduled its fifth investigation into the matter and emphasized that the witnesses who provide false information are more critical than Mr. Thaksin himself. He pointed out that any false information or incorrect approvals would eventually be exposed. He specifically mentioned Pol. Col. Thawee Sodsong, the Minister of Justice, who approved a suspension of sentence despite Mr. Thaksin's condition not being deemed deteriorated based on the Department of Health's score for the elderly.
Dr. Tul also warned that anyone involved with Mr. Thaksin from August 22, 2013, to February 18, 2014, should face severe punishment if they provided inaccurate information or incorrect approvals to the court. He noted that Mr. Chanchai Issarasenarak, a former Democrat MP, is expected to present documents related to the case, highlighting the inconsistencies in witness statements and their deviation from medical facts throughout the past four rounds of investigation.
