20 Sept 12:08 Key points summarised by AI

The Corrections Department has extended former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's stay at the Police General Hospital for medical treatment, based on doctors' recommendations, without specifying a new discharge date.
This decision, made before his 60th day at the hospital without serving time in prison since his return, has drawn strong criticism from anti-Thaksin groups who allege double standards, especially following the royal commutation of his 8-year sentence to one year.
