Thailand’s former prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, was ordered to serve one year in prison by the country’s Supreme Court on Sept. 9, after it ruled that the time he spent in a hospital following his return from exile in August 2023 did not count as prison time.

The judges said Thaksin, 76, had no severe illness at the time and could have been treated in jail.
