FORMER Thai leader Thaksin Shinawatra appeared in a Bangkok court as it began scrutinising evidence in a royal insult case against him, just days after his daughter became the South-East Asian nation’s new prime minister.
Thaksin, accompanied by his lawyers, went into the court clad in a yellow shirt, a colour that symbolises loyalty to the monarchy. His court appearance yesterday came a day after he received a royal amnesty that ended his commuted one-year sentence in corruption cases, allowing him to walk free two weeks earlier than the end of his parole.
