The facts
The image is AI-generated: detection tools flagged it, and the face matches a Thai PBS report photo of 18 June. The Department of Corrections said it does not release inmate images. Thaksin is serving a one-year sentence at Klong Prem Central Prison after a Supreme Court ruling in the 14th Floor case, but the picture does not show any real prison scene.
