Parties may propose a bill seeking to grant amnesty to convicts in politically related cases, but talks on the matter can only take place after the formation of a new parliament, according to Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam.

He said it will be too late to discuss the bill now as the current parliament has only a few meetings left before its final session ends on Feb 28.
