Former Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra faces charges of insulting the monarchy, stemming from a 2015 interview.
Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has said he is ready to face charges of insulting the monarchy, a case which marks a setback for a political heavyweight whose allies are currently in government. The complaint, lodged by the royalist military that ousted Thaksin's sister Yingluck Shinawatra's government, stems from an interview he gave to foreign media in 2015. Thaksin denies wrongdoing and has repeatedly pledged loyalty to the crown.
