BANGKOK: Former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra posted a heartfelt message on her personal Facebook page on Thursday (May 22), marking the 11th anniversary of the 2014 military coup and responding to the Supreme Administrative Court’s ruling ordering her to pay more than US$305mil (10 billion baht) in damages related to the controversial rice pledging scheme.

Yingluck emphasised her position as a victim of political injustice, stating, "I am being held responsible for a debt I did not create... I was the head of the executive branch, forced to bear liabilities caused by operational officials, in which I had no direct involvement."
