The Pardon Puzzle: Thailand's Review of Rules Raises Questions on Justice Thailand's corrections department has announced plans to review its pardon rules following the release of an 85 year old convicted drug lord, Laota Saenlee.
The decision has sparked a backlash from many in the country who see it as a betrayal of justice.
Laota Saenlee was arrested in 2016 for selling crystal meth in the notorious Golden Triangle region, where organized crime groups move tens of billions of dollars' worth of illicit substances annually.
