"Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said his government would consider granting amnesty to banned politicians as part of the reconciliation process, but stressed that Thaksin Shinawatra would not be among them. Mr Abhisit yesterday called on ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra to return home to face corruption charges.
"He can expect justice from Thailand. He must accept the consequence of his actions," he said at the Foreign Correspondents' Club (FCC) in Hong Kong.
"We are talking about amnesty for what would be political violations. We are not interested in granting amnesty for criminal offences," he said. "[Thaksin's] been convicted. He must accept responsibilities."

I guess that's why he supported amnesty for the generals who committed treason in the coup of 2006. Amnesty for treason; no amnesty for a conflict of interest. What a hypocrite !
