Deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra should return home to fight the legal cases against him and prove his claims of innocence, Rak Santi party list MP Purachai Piumsombun said on Thursday.Mr Purachai, a former interior minister in a Thaksin government, said if Thaksin could prove his innocence he could the sue whoever was responsible for making false charges against him.

 

He said this when asked to comment on the ongoing move to seek a royal pardon for Thaksin.

 

Thaksin should have the courage to appear before the court to restore his honour and dignity, he said.

 

"I believe Pol Lt-Col Thaksin, who graduated from the police academy and finished a Phd in criminology, knows all the procedures," Mr Purachai added.

 

When asked if that by returning Thaksin could risk being put in jail, Mr Puchai said Nelson Mandela, a former president of South Africa, had been in jail for many years before he became the country's leader when he was 80 years old.

 

"This is a matter of principles and ideology," he said.
