BANGKOK, April 29 — Thailand’s jailed former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra will be released early from prison next month, the corrections department said on Wednesday.

“He will be released on May 11, 2026 and will need to comply with all conditions” until his probation ends, including wearing an electronic monitor, the department said in a statement.

Thaksin, 76, has been serving a one-year prison sentence for corruption since September. — AFP
