Could be looking at what.....a 12 hour sentence?

Fifteen years. I'm surprised he still has such powerful enemies.

Thaksin was alleged to have defamed the monarchy in comments made during an interview with South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper in 2015, during which he claimed privy councillors supported the 2014 coup that ousted the government of his younger sister Yingluck Shinawatra.

 

This will all go away, soon. 

This had to happen because the charges were outstanding. Taksin has more likelihood of seeing inside of Parliament than a jail cell. They are just stepping him thru the system, perfunctory measures. Slap on wrist, deep wai and he's a free man.

 

I'm not commenting on the quality of the case, veracity of charges just the nature of power
