Former premier Thaksin Shinawatra will return home later this week to defend himself against corruption charges, a leading member of the People Power Party (PPP) said yesterday (Feb 25).
A pro-Thaksin website, Hi-Thaksin.net, yesterday urged his supporters to gather at the Suvarnabhumi Airport on Thursday morning (Feb 28) to “welcome home Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, whom we love, miss and have been waiting for his return for over a year”.
The PPP member, who asked not to be named, said Thaksin would issue a statement giving the schedule for his return, including the date and flight number. The statement will be uploaded to a pro-Thaksin website, www.truethaksin.com, today.
