The king of Thailand has commuted former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra&#039;s 8-year prison sentence to one, after the former premier requested a royal pardon.
He was jailed last week on corruption and other charges. Thaksin attracts intense focus because of his continuing influence on Thai politics.
                
The king&#039;s clemency announcement comes a day after the acting justice minister confirmed Thaksin&#039;s request for a royal pardon. The king&#039;s statement says Thaksin is a former prime minister who performed good deeds for the country and its people. It added Thaksin is old and has health problems.
                
Thaksin was ousted as prime minister during a coup in 2006. After 15 years of de-facto exile, he returned to Thailand last week. The 74-year-old was sent straight to prison.
                
But the next day, he was transferred to a police hospital as he complained he couldn&#039;t sleep, and felt tightness in his chest. He&#039;s been hospitalized since then.
                
Thailand will soon install a new coalition government. The prime minister is Srettha Thavisin, from the Pheu Thai Party. The party&#039;s previous incarnation, Thai Rak Thai, was founded by Thaksin. In order to take power, Srettha has formed a coalition with former rivals in pro-military parties.
                
There&#039;s been speculation the coalition was part of a deal in Thaksin&#039;s bid for a pardon.
