Former Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra Charged with Lèse-Majesté and Royal Defamation
May 29, 2024, 03:18 AM
Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been formally charged with lèse-majesté, a serious offense involving defamation of the monarchy. The decision to prosecute was announced by Thailand’s attorney general's office on Wednesday. Thaksin, a highly influential political figure whose loyalists are currently in government, faces charges stemming from an alleged insult to the monarchy in an interview given to foreign media in 2015. This development marks a significant setback for Thaksin, who had recently been released on parole in another criminal case.
