Claim of deal between Pheu Thai and government over Thaksin’s petition for amnesty dismissed

Former 'red-shirt' leader Natthawut Saikua **debunks** claims that Thaksin Shinawatra's amnesty petition serves as a political bargaining chip for Pheu Thai's support in an upcoming censure debate.
Natthawut **affirms** Thaksin has completed his prison sentence, stating the amnesty petition is a normal legal right, while **clarifying** that lèse majesté charges are legally excluded from such amnesty.
He **emphasizes** the government's political stability and unity among coalition parties, **rejecting** any notion of a fabricated political deal between Pheu Thai and the government.
Natthawut **underscores** Thaksin's right, as an ousted elected prime minister, to pursue all legal channels, contrasting this with coup leaders who granted themselves immediate amnesty.
