Thai court orders ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra to serve one year in prison

Thailand’s Supreme Court has ruled that former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra must serve one year in prison, declaring his stay in a police hospital does not count as time served. The 76-year-old, previously sentenced for corruption and abuse of power, had avoided jail due to health concerns. The ruling marks a pivotal legal moment for the Southeast Asian nation.
