Some very good news for prisoners in Thailand was just announced today. After the 1st Thailand prisoner amnesty was enacted in July 2021, a 2nd amnesty has been made official to commemorate the birthday of His Majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great. This has been published in the Royal Gazette of Thailand on 05 December 2021. This is very welcome news for the many prisoners in Thailand who are eligible for the amnesty. It is estimated that over 100,000 prisoners will receive some sort of benefit from this recent amnesty. It could also mean that some prisoners in Thailand will have just received the 1st Thailand prisoner amnesty’s benefits, and will now receive a 2nd round of reductions. Thailand Bail estimates that several thousand prisoners in Thai prisons in Bangkok will have their sentences reduced or be released from prison immediately.
