Thai ex-PM gets 5 years’ jail term

September 27, 2017 by NHL Werasinghe Leave a Comment

Thailand’s Supreme Court has sentenced former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to five years’ jail after finding her guilty of negligence over a rice subsidy scheme her government set up to help farmers.
However, Shinawatra was not in Court to hear her sentence. She dramatically fled the country a month ago. Three senior policemen have been investigated but not charged for allegedly helping her escape to the Cambodian border in a car with counterfeit plates.
Her whereabouts are unknown, although it is widely speculated she fled via Cambodia and Singapore to Dubai to join her brother Thaksin Shinawatra. He fled the country in 2008 to avoid corruption charges.
