Former Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra was granted bail on June 18 after being indicted on a charge of royal insult. Thaksin, who returned to Thailand from self-exile last year, was released on bail of 500,000 baht (about $13,600) under the condition that he is not allowed to leave the country unless granted permission. The Thai Attorney-General alleges that Thaksin defamed the monarchy during an interview with foreign media in 2015, which violated lese majeste and computer crime laws.
