MPs to seek amnesty for Thaksin

Northeastern MPs are set to begin a signature campaign aimed at seeking amnesty for former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, an MP from the ruling People Power Party said yesterday.



Panya Sripanya, a PPP MP for Khon Kaen, said that he and his fellow MPs from the region would collect signatures from at least 10 northeastern provinces. He added that he expected the campaign to gather at least 1,000 signatures of supporters from each province.

"I will visit the electorates on Tuesday, and I expect to get the required signatures within a week," he said, adding that a motion seeking amnesty for Thaksin could be submitted before this current parliamentary session ends late this month.
