It is reported from a prison source that an announcement was made this morning in Bang Kwang prison that all prisoners condemned to death and whose legal procedures are completed, will benefit from a royal pardon; their death penalty sentences will be commuted to life imprisonment. Confirmed by publication in the Royal Gazette of 11th August, Article 14:
มาตรา ๑๔ นักโทษเด็ดขาดซึ่งต้องโทษประหารชีวิต ให้ได้รับพระราชทานอภัยโทษลดโทษ
ลงเป็นโทษจําคุกตลอดชีวิต
This is a momentous event which may be the beginning of the end for the death penalty in Thailand
